Mark was in Philadelphia last weekend to attend a conference called PodCamp Philly. The sessions focused on Internet stuff like social media and podcasting.
Following a session that he delivered, Mark was approached by Melissa Thiessen. She told him about an exhibit of art and children’s books by Maurice Sendak.
So, on the Sunday, Mark and his three new friends piled into a car and hustled out to the Rosenbach Museum and Library where they raced through the exhibit in thirty-minutes during a break before rushing back in time for Mark to participate in a panel discussion.
This episode features a discussion among four people, connected by a love of children’s books, sharing what they learned and what they love most about Maurice Sendak and his books. This proves that, like pop culture discussions, children’s book discussions can take place anywhere; even in cars.
Conversation participants:
Also on this edition, our listener hotline takes a call from Knoxville, Tennessee about the book, Monster Mama.

[…] September 6 and 7 I attended PodCamp Philadelphia and met some fantastic podcasters and bloggers from Philadelphia and around the world. One of the wonderful sessions was given by Canadian Mark Blevis, where he talked about how to enhance your podcast by acting like the band the Police. Mark also talked about his podcast about children’s books called Just One More Book. Being the bibliophile that I am, I recommended he attend the Rosenbach Museum while he was in Philadelphia, as I knew there was a Maurice Sendak exhibit there at the moment. The Rosenbach is a little known Philadelphia treasure, two rowhouses in Center City once owned by two brothers who had a love of books and is converted to a wonderful library and museum. I’d been there once before and fell in love with the place. On Sunday of PodCamp, Mark, myself, and two other great Philly PodCampers rushed over to the Rosenbach during the lunch break, and saw the Sendak exhibit and recorded a podcast in the car. The result is posted on the latest Just One More Book, please listen and enjoy: The Art and Books of Maurice Sendak […]
