Mental Health Vacation

The Reference Desk

Sometimes, we all need a vacation! For us, that meant being together in person for the first time in two years and chatting about our favorite weird topics.
In this episode, Katie and Hailee are bewitched by the legend that is Reesa Teesa, the absurdity of medieval animals on trial, and the Dave Matthews Band tour bus incident. Plus, we share some of our favorite feel-good books and media for self-care when our mental health is on the rocks.
