Podcast!

We have a podcast! Listen to Middle Ground After Hours, available wherever you listen to your podcasts.

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.

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.

On the Middle Ground: After Hours podcast, most of what we talk about is what we know best, books. If you’re a regular listener and are interested in reading some of the mentioned titles, you can find them here!

Lobster Trap - Greg Mercer

Lobster has been a phenomenal success story, with a commercial fishery that has generated enormous wealth and fuelled appetites for one of the world’s most recognizable luxury foods. The great lobster boom that began in the 1990s has also led to violent fights over who has the right to catch this valuable seafood, including many Indigenous people in Canada, who until recently have been excluded from this industry. Now overfishing, trade wars, and climate change are threatening the future of this fishery in deeply troubling ways.
