Hi, my name is Chris Hudson and I’m an English professor at Amarillo College. I will begin my final Radio Readers BookByte on Lincoln in the Bardo by promising (with fingers crossed) not to spoil the rather thrilling and suspenseful ending.

This week, we'll talk about how to selectively time your harvesting, to let your plants grow as much as possible before they're at risk.

Hello everyone, this is Clifton Butt, an English teacher in Amarillo, Texas. I'm here to briefly discuss American Mother by Colum McCann with Diane Foley. Before starting this book, I only had vague memories of James Foley, his capture, and his execution at the hands of ISIS in 2014.
