USA TODAY’s daily news podcast, The Excerpt (formerly 5 Things), brings you a curated mix of the most important headlines seven mornings a week. We also deliver special deep-dive episodes on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons on the most compelling topics in culture, entertainment, sports, politics, and more. Give us fifteen minutes a day, we'll give you all of the headlines, none of the chaos. Hosted by Taylor Wilson and Dana Taylor.
If you love books, then this episode is for you. Best-selling author James Patterson’s latest book, “The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians” is in many ways a love letter to this cornerstone of education here in America. Joining him is Mychal Threets, a librarian in California whose viral library-focused social media videos have endeared him to thousands of readers across the US.
