who are we?

Anna Ferri: Anna likes to read cultural studies, fantasy novels, popular science, and anything with a warped, magical take on our reality—plus a few graphic novels and some middle-grade palate cleansers. She’s just careening through her own wonky reading path.

Matthew Murray: When he’s not editing the podcast, Matthew spends his time trying to read all of the comics ever, working as a Data and Graduate Studies Librarian, co-organizing the Manga in Libraries series of webinars and the Toronto Comic Arts Festival’s Libraries & Education day, and editing the zine Two-Fisted Library Stories. He also does Library/Education promotion for Manga Classics and is probably on Twitter far more than is healthy.

Meghan Whyte: Currently working in archivesland. Meghan remains a power reader when not cycling around the National Capital Region in Canada (Ottawa/Gatineau) the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinabeg. Wheelhouse includes soft scifi, cyberpunk, narrative nonfiction, supernatural mystery/thrillers, works in translation, and French graphic works. Reading gaps include YA, cosy mysteries, literary fiction, contemporary fiction, and bestsellers – among other things the podcast will reveal over time.
