Welcome to Furthermore, the podcast that explores what makes popular books worth reading. Each episode, a guest and I take the month's bestseller at the New York City bookstore I manage, read the first 50 pages, break down the hype around the book, why it sold so well, and if we would delve in or shelve it.

Episode 25- Such a Fun Age (February 2020)

On the last day of 2019, Kiley Reid's debut novel, Such a Fun Age was released to the world. Though it racked up pretty good sales in January, buzz in the literary world propelled it to be our best seller come February. I chat with Music Therapist Jasmine Edwards about this all too timely novel, the tough work she's been doing in hospitals during the pandemic, and the most important question; did we delve, or shelve it? Thanks so much for listening to Furthermore! What's the best first chapter of a book you've ever read? Please stay safe and healthy out there.

Episode 24- Nothing to See Here (January 2020)

Season 2 continues with January 2020’s bestseller, Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson. After the holiday rush it’s always interesting to see what book emerges as the front runner in the new year. NYU classmate Ethan Loewi and I dive into this darkly funny book about combustible children. Reviews were mixed on this one. Some people loved it, others put it down halfway through. Did Ethan and I delve in, or did we shelve it? Thanks so much for listening to Furthermore! What book did you begin your year with? Please stay safe and healthy out there.

Episode 23- Catch-22 (Quarantine Reads)

Furthermore Season 2 kicks off with an episode devoted to reading in Quarantine. I'm joined by (possibly) Furthermore's biggest fan and longtime friend, Mike Barefield, to discuss a book Mike never finished: Catch-22. One of my favorites, Mike and I talk a few other books he's got kicking around on his shelf, what our quarantines have been like in different states, and Joseph Heller's best known work. Did Mike delve in, or shelve it? (What difference does that make!?) Thanks so much for listening to Furthermore! What book did you pick up but never finish? Please stay safe and healthy out there.

Episode 22- Little Fires Everywhere (Head to Head)

Last August, before the world turned upside down, Andrea and I read Celeste Ng's 2019 bestseller Little Fires Everywhere. While I decided to put the book down after 50 pages, Andrea continued on. We decided to reconvene when Reese Witherspoon's highly anticipated Hulu adaptation arrived. In this episode of Furthermore, we watch the first episode of the show and put it up against those 50 pages we read last year. Which would we rather delve into? Did the Hello Sunshine production company bring a bestseller to life? Thanks for listening to this episode of Furthermore! What did you think of the show? Did you make it past episode 1?

Episode 21- Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

When the country went on lockdown and I found myself without access to my store's bestsellers, I looked for other ways to keep things interesting here at Furthermore. Dabbling in TV and... whatever 50 Shades of Grey was, I decided it was time to go back to something more comforting. Something nostalgic. A part of shared childhoods across the world. Then, as so many things are so likely to do nowadays, this episode got harder. The intention was to start a Harry Potter retrospective, where myself and 7 other guests read the first 50 pages of each book in the series, decide if we would shelve it or delve in, and find a small piece of a book series that meant so much to us. J.K. Rowling then went ahead and made some transphobic comments, something she's done before. Jess, a previous guest on this episode and all around insightful and kind human being, reached out me. We decided to have a conversation about how damaging Ms. Rowling's comments are. It's nothing new from her but still disappointing. Trans people across the world deserve to be recognized for who they are. Harry Potter is bigger than all of us. I still believe that reliving the first 50 pages of these books Furthermore style can bring some joy into what has become a confusing and frustrating year in so many ways. Please enjoy the first in our Harry Potter retrospective! Thanks so much for listening to Furthermore. Find us on instagram at @Furthermorepodcast. What Hogwarts house are you??

Episode 20- Parks and Rec (Furthermore Firsts)

It's the second Episode of Furthermore Firsts! Today I'm examining the infamous first episode of Parks and Rec, Amy Poehler's hilarious sitcom that ran for 7 seasons. It's a show that was often recommended to me with the caveat that I could skip the first season. Why? Was it really that bad? Does that mean the first episode is worth skipping altogether as well? Furthermore Firsts takes a look at the very first episode of Park and Rec. Thanks for listening to Furthermore! Don't forget to check out our Instagram page, @Furthermorepodcast. Keep Reading!

Episode 19- Family Guy (Furthermore Firsts)

In the inaugural episode of Furthermore Firsts, I take a look at the pilot episode of sitcoms or other old TV shows worth checking out. Family Guy kicks us off, as a solo Andy goes back to when he was a teenager to look at Seth MacFarlane's still running cartoon sitcom. I aim to answer three questions about the show's first episode: 1. How does the pilot represent the rest of the series? 2.Is it a good episode? 3. Based on this first episode, would I delve in or shelve it? A nostalgic trip leads me to see what about Family Guy changed over the years; why am I so much less enamored with it now than I used to be? Was it always nothing more than a cutaway clip show? Would I rewatch? Thanks for listening to Furthermore! Don't forget to check out our Instagram page, @Furthermorepodcast. Keep Reading!

Could this surprise us? Andrea and I discuss how much of this book's popularity came down to intrigue and how much was the book's worth. We hope you will join us on this journey through the deep dark world of inexplicable books. Thanks so much for listening to Furthermore! Let us know- did you read this when it was popular? Do you have a 9 year old named Christian or Anastasia? Please stay safe and healthy out there.
