June 14, 2015: The State Library is about to name its 2015 Kansas Notable Books, the best new books by Kansans or about Kansas. Before they do, we take a look back at last year's winners. It's the second part of a two-part series, with author interviews and books to give away. This week's program features Andy Marso's Worth the Pain: How Meningitis Nearly Killed Me, Then Changed My Life for the Better, Alex Grecian's The Black Country, and a very special musical presentation by James McBride, author of The Good Lord Bird.
