Maybe you should not listen to this one | If this is your first episode, maybe you should pick another one to listen to. The hosts stretch the trivia boundaries a bit and introduce some very adult humor to the Season 4 finale. There are two Stump the Chump segments and after the second you may never see the hosts quite the same again. This is definitely not a kid friendly episode. | 9/1/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Yearning for Jared | After being off the air for over a month due to, according to Barry, LaToya's legal issues, ITS is back!

17 |
Providio Who? | Barry's reluctant to do the show and is a bit of a sour puss. He again rags on Allie Fox and show sponsor, Providio Consulting.

Jumping On or Jumping Off | What was meant to be a mini episode turns out to be a full fledged hour show. Barry shares with LaToya some earth-shattering comic book news. It's no surprise that LaToya knew absolutely nothing about it given her vain approach to Facebook and other news. Listen to commentary from a comic book expert and a novice on the big news from DC comics.

23 |
Patron Saint of Tiny Dancers | Kazoo, Kazam, Shazam. It's a very full studio as the show welcomes guests Kenrick Perez, Joel Taylor, Anthony Davidson (Kiazami), Elise Davidson, and Sasha Davidson to the Stacks. Sadly, due to technical problems only half of the show actually recorded and so the episode name will likely mean nothing to you. It was so legendary that you don't even get to fully experience it! However, despite the Friday the 13th like disaster what did record is worth listening to. In the end, you really just had to be there. | 5/19/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

LaToya's CPAP Smear | Today's show has no People in a Minute, No Stump the Chump, and no Sarah. But what it does have is a lot of talk about libraries and about LaToya's health. It's just a general chatter kind of day but what is revealed is the upcoming sponsor of the show, Joel Taylor, owner of Providio Consulting.

In the Stacks with Barry, LaToya, and Sarah | It's St. Patrick's Day and time for another episode of ITS. Sarah again joins the show and conversation is lively with talk of entertainment and politics. Barry tells LaToya she belongs in a zoo, LaToya watches as Barry tries to replace her with Sarah, and we learn that Sarah has no sense of time. | 3/17/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

31 |
LaToya's Ghetto Tumor | It's another interview day at the Twin Lakes Library System and so that our loyal listeners get a dose of ITS we record the show in between interviews. Keep the children away from this one as talk is candid and censoring, not so much. Sarah joins Barry and LaToya on the show and help complete the reverse Oreo. | 3/10/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

32 |
All in Good Fun | It's not Thursday but LaToya wants to record the show anyway. With no show last week and LaToya's mood stable she feels that now is as good a time as any. However, Barry feels that she's unstable and he's not in the mood since it's not Thursday. To appease her he records the show but starts recording when she's out of the room. Much of the show is devoted to Charlie Sheen. Who hasn't heard of him going totally bonkers? See if you can catch the two breaks in the recording due to having to take care of library business. Sarah also joins the show as Barry tries to make light on a ginormous situation. | 3/1/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Holy Pumpkin City Pants, Robin! | Just when you thought we'd said goodbye to in studio guests and Stump the Chump we surprise you! Actually, Anthony Davidson, drummer for Pumpkin City and younger brother of show co-host, LaToya Davidson, makes a somewhat surprise visit to the show. After continually being ridiculed by Barry for his wearing of girl pants he feels the need to set the record straight and show up to the show in...unisex pants. This show is a gem as nothing is off limits and LaToya is on air with two of the guys who know her best. And no, the abrupt cut off at the end of the show was no accident listeners just didn't get to hear all of Barry and Anthony's laughter at LaToya's expense. | 2/17/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Fantastic Friday | We'd already used winging it in a title for this season but it certainly seems like the theme for the season. LaToya comes to the show empty-handed. Correction, she comes with a doughnut. Barry is ready to go and manages, as usual, to make LaToya look like a fool. Barry insults most of LaToya's immediate family especially her mom and boyfriend for not letting her watch the Super Bowl and what's an ITS show without talk of Lindsay Lohan! | 2/11/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

35 |
The Damned Thing (All About Barry) | Despite what may have seemed like a month long break from the new season, Barry and LaToya are back. Or is it just Barry? This season's format seems to be a bit more conversational with even less preparation. But don't let that deter you from listening in to the often off color and politically incorrect behavior of the co-hosts. Barry talks about himself. As usual. He also shares some breaking news with the audience. LaToya pretends to care. Join them for another exciting episode. | 2/3/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Winging it in the Best Year Ever (Goodbye Golden Earring) | It's a new year but it's the same old LaToya (and Barry). She manages to offend everyone including Barry, her brother (Anthony), and friend (Joel). Will Barry ever view her the same way again? Will her brother forgive her? Will Joel still be her friend? A lot has happened since the last show which as a result makes this the longest show to date. Plus is it really goodbye to Mr. Golden Earring?! This aims to be truly the best year ever! | 1/14/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

It's a Very Barry (and LaToya) Christmas | One can only hope that this episode is worth the wait and worth its weight. After work and sickness delays and despite the lethargic sweetness of lunch, Barry and LaToya come together for their first Christmas Special. Or is it the Special with no real reference? Sarah Davis returns as our seasonal chump. Does she finally win one? Does Golden Earring do the Dradle Song justice? And does Anthony really wear girl jeans?

Give My Child His Happy Meal! | The final regular episode of the season shows employees that even librarians have opinions.

I Heart Brett Favre | With the Veterans Day holiday AND Barry's birthday, the show has been delayed by one day. But boy what a difference a day makes! The hosts discuss why they couldn't and didn't record the show early and spend a great deal of time talking about the Brits. There's also a lot of whistles.

The Brady Bunch | Things are again off in Stacksland this week.

Surprise! Allie Fox is Princess Leia | If you're looking forward to LaToya's People in a Minute, don't be. Today's show is all about the special connection between Barry and Allie Fox.

New employee, Sarah Davis is the Halloween Chump, and Mr. Golden Earring 'sings' a Halloween classic. | 10/28/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

It's Elementary, Kell! | It's the eve of the Deep Roots Festival and all is quiet at the library as there is no legal way to park at the facility.

Andrew Gives Us the Finger | After mentioning last week that Network Administrator, Andrew Smith is now sporting a stump so much has happened in the land of the Twin Lakes Library System. Andrew not only is missing the tip of his finger he resigns his position on staff metaphorically giving us the finger. We're all in good humor though as he makes what may be his final appearance on the show as this week's chump and to tell us his harrowing story of how he almost lost his life...oops, finger. Barry and LaToya also share their Top 5 Albums and Artists of their lifetimes and revel in Barry's recent (almost) perfect job evaluation score. | 10/14/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

I don't know nothin' 'bout the NHL | The show brings another big name in the world of pulp, Tommy Hancock, Editor in Chief of Pro Se Press. He is a new kind of Chump. Barry and LaToya bicker as usual while LaToya takes her People in a Minute segment to a more intellectual level. More talk about the budget and the cursed Service Delivery Agreement, and general banter and ITS chaos. | 10/7/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Dino's Lobotomy | After what feels like a lifetime Barry and LaToya are back in the studio. It's the first actual episode since the record breaking 30th Annual Library Fair and Barry is in good spirits. Money tends to have that effect on him (and LaToya). LaToya turns the tables on Barry and makes him the chump for Iron Man 2 trivia. Barry hijacks LaToya's segment and LaToya is actually reading a book but doesn't get to talk about it. Will the show feature a new co-host? What is the world coming to?! | 9/30/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Jay the Telephone Guy | LaToya's going on vacation. Barry decides to record the show early. Although the 'release' date is for after the Library Fair, it's the day before the 30th Annual Library Fair and the staff are all onsite preparing for the event. Barry and LaToya wing it as they do their show and oddities ensue. There's even an appearancce by our local telephone repair guy. Stump the Chump is also an interesting edition featuring the spouse of a library employee and Barry shamelessly self-promotes while LaToya steps out of the studio to handle Library Fair business. | 9/23/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

LaToya's a Chump | It's the week of Library Fair and Barry and LaToya are super busy. However, LaToya is unaware (as usual) that when Barry says something, he means it. In haste, she prepares for a full episode but has to save her segments and thoughts for the next show. What she also learns (decides) immediately before is to be the mini episode Chump. With the chance to humiliate his co-host Barry not only has sports trivia but FSU & USC rivalry mixed in. | 9/15/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Island Flava | LaToya's sick. Again. Or has she actually gotten better since the last time? She drags herself in to work to do the show and Barry teases her for being unprepared. She also brings with her today's guest and Stump the Chump victim, Trinidadian boyfriend, Kenrick Perez. With the Batman themed game Kell serenades them with the 60s classic show theme. Does he knock this performance out of the park? Bam! Pow! Thwack! Does Kenrick join Kell as the biggest loser? Na na na na Na na na na BATMAN! | 9/9/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

A New Beginning | Season Premiere. The Stacks welcome guest and famous pulp fiction author, Derrick Ferguson. As the season's first Chump he adds his own vocal stylings to the game. Barry changes up the format to the show and LaToya is the last to know. However, LaToya is pleasantly surprised (and relieved) that she's again co-host for another season. Paris Hilton is again a topic of discussion but who can top Kell's heart-warming rendition of the GI Joe theme? | 9/2/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Barry and LaToya discuss the economic distress on library funding. LaToya's watching Doctor Who and Barry loves the Sweds. | 8/30/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Name that Theme | Barry had high hopes for this episode. That is, until LaToya squashed them. He goes from a good mood to almost catatonic. Joel Taylor, author of Joel's Weblog of Wonders is the on-the-phone guest and takes part in Pixar Stump the Chump trivia. He's on the line from the beautiful port city of Savannah and in true geek form, is planning on attending a WordPress conference. Later in the show Pumpkin City drummer, Anthony Davidson discusses the debut of the In the Stacks theme song with lyrics derived from LaToya's poem, In the Stacks. | 8/19/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Let's Get Political (A Fox in the Stacks) | Allie Fox, the show's #1 fan makes an appearance on the show and graciously plays Indiana Jones Stump the Chump trivia. Is he or isn't he a big Indiana Jones fan? The Stump the Chump singer gets a new name? Barry discusses his dislike of Twitter feeds on Facebook. LaToya is billed as the sidekick. Will Pumpkin City deliver a theme song before the next season? And what is now the longest show to date includes an indepth political conversation that begins with civil rights and ends with stereotypes. | 8/12/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sour Puss | Papa Bear (aka Barry Reese) is in a grumpy mood and tries to drag LaToya into it. It's hard to ignore his general blue mood. However, as the show progresses his mood improves. Kell is under the weather as he sings for the Doctor Who themed Stump the Chump which features Eleanor Hopson as the Chump. Barry and LaToya also discuss potential upcoming Chumps including the show's number one fan, Allie Fox. | 8/5/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Double Feature | Barry starts the show alone and makes sure LaToya doesn't live down last week's show not being uploaded on time. With the library's emergency closes and the Georgia heat, the delay is blamed on all of the above.
