Half Read

Welcome to Half-Read, a book-inspired women’s conversation podcast about relationships, identity, friendship, motherhood, reinvention, and cocktails! Books spark the conversation and the cocktails set the tone. Each week we take a book, pull a theme, mix a cocktail, and explore what it means to change, unravel, grow and re-grow. It's honest, warm, sometimes funny, but always real – like sitting with your best friends who say the truth out loud. Pour a drink, open a chapter (or don't) and join us as we figure it out one conversation at a time. The No-Book Book Club! Hosted by: Meg, Leia, & Lisa

    The Half Read Rewind | Season 1 Epilogue

    Season 1 Episode 11 of Half Read. Season 1 is officially wrapped, but before we turn the page and close the chapter we never read, we thought it would be fun to look back at the books, drinks, and mainly the conversations and of course the unexpected moments that shaped our first season. In this epilogue, we talk about what surprised us about our adventure to start a podcast and what Season 1 became once the conversations started to move. We will also discuss what to expect for Season 2. Cocktail: Lemon Creamy Margarita Theme: S1 Rewind / Epilogue
