  • Ep 660 - The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store, by James McBride

    Ep 660 - The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store, by James McBride
    Jul 29 2024

    Communities collide in the Chicken Hill neighborhood of 1930s Pottstown. Will the tensions become more than this town can manage? Since this is a James McBride novel, probably not! His work is characterized by a warmth of spirit that feels optimistic without naivete. So it shouldn't surprised you that folks of different backgrounds are finding common cause on all sorts of things - like how cool it is they all call somebody Big Soap.

  • Ep 659 - Beach Read, by Emily Henry

    Ep 659 - Beach Read, by Emily Henry
    Jul 22 2024

    Emily Henry's Beach Read is a romance novel that's light on the romance, and also on beaches and reading. But it's still fun! An a good argument against aggressively pigeonholing books or their authors into any given genre box.

My favorite podcast!

Mch of the time insightful, often hilarious, always entertaining. I can listen for hours a day. Some of the episodes are truly epic and some of them are just silly and fun. The variety of book selections is right up my alley. And I very much appreciate that Craig and Andrew never shy away from naming and exploring problematic themes (racism, sexism, abuse, etc) even in beloved classics and books they love. I've learned a lot listening to Overdue.
