Welcome to the Black Bibliophile Podcast! The Black Bibliophile is a podcast where I, Jaz, read and talk about popular and little-known books, comics, zines, and authors. To quote Haruki Murakami, "If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking."
This quote inspires me to try to bring diversity to this podcast with all the books I choose. Enjoy the show.
