If you like something, should you feel guilty about it?

The Distracted Librarians discuss the sometimes-embarrassing topic of "guilty pleasures": titles and topics we love, but might not admit to loving. Why is that? Have we outgrown these things, or feel that we should have? Are they not "cool" enough? Or have we just not found enough people who'll admit to loving them as much as we do?

Many thanks to BCTV for their support in recording, editing, and releasing this podcast, and to the Friends of the Library for sponsoring closed captioning on every episode.
