Welcome to Middle Ground Books: After Hours . We’re Lance, Megan, and Debra, and after a long day at our bookstore in Emporia, Kansas, this is where we kick back, grab a few drinks, and talk about everything from books and life to the wild corners of the Nerdosphere. Every topic is fair game and every drink is welcome. We try to keep things family friendly if the drinks allow it. This is our space to unwind, laugh, and connect with each other and the community we love. New episode every Thursday! Come by the shop, say hi, and tell us what’s on your mind. Who knows, maybe it will end up in an episode. And as always, we’ll meet you in the middle. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
