John’s blog, “It’s Never Just Black And White” is here.

Eric’s book, Bedrock Faith, which he reads from in our show, is here.

This video is from a few years ago, but Robin’s tour of Beverly (watch for Cork & Kerry and Janson’s) and other old haunts of the South Side is still funny to me.

More of L.D. Barnes’s work is here.

You can find some of Jamie’s writing on Medium.

That’s it. See you this Thursday!
