Wonderful podcast!
Not being a writer....and being a happy reader I have enjoyed this podcast so Much! Cheryl is an excellent interviewer and I really enjoy the different stories behind the books. I just discovered this podcast this month and have loved binge listening to it. Yet I want to slow it down and savor each one!
Highly recommended!
There is always something fascinating to discover in Better Reading Podcasts. The interviews pique my interest in books and topics that I otherwise might not discover. Cheryl is a fantastic host, a great listener and makes me feel like a participant in an authentic and meaningful conversation. Thank you!
