Lots of background work goes into every episode of Rare Book Cafe. We cast a wide net for background information that might inform our discussions and provide diversions when Lindsay Thompson launches into another lecture.
But then the show is over, and- especially if Lindsay's worked up a head of steam- the material may not have all been used!
So here's an out-takes reel from our Scary Show for October 28:
