I listen to many podcasts, and sometimes the same author appears on more than one show. In listening to multiple hosts interview the same person, inevitably I learn more about the author, the book and other subjects when listening to Trigiani! As a NY Times best selling author, she digs deep with the authors, their backgrounds, intent in writing, their hearts. Her conversations are rich, meaningful and time well spent!

Nobody loves and champions authors quite like Adriana! She’s my absolute favorite—crazy well-read, endlessly curious, and full of admiration for both writers and readers. Every episode is a love letter to storytelling, but the one with Dion DiMucci? Pure magic! My dad was Dion’s biggest fan, always playing his music, and even though he passed in 2018, I swear I could feel him right there, soaking in Adri & Dion’s incredible conversation. Such a special moment! xo

This podcast was so spiritually uplifting. From insight on Mary Magdalene to how we should try to forgive like the father of the prodigal son, and lastly to “have what we have” in gratitude—so powerful and needed. Thank you for a beautiful podcast.

Adriana is so genuine

Ahhh, finally a really great podcast about authors & my one of my fav pastimes reading!! Found you earlier this year & listen every week! Thank you , a Catholic from Colo🙋‍♀️Merry Christmas

Just want to compliment you on this show. I’ve been listening since the beginning and always learn something new . Your mission to lift the viel on the authors writing is accomplished with me :). I looked up Kate and saw she was from Clermomt, FL and as much as I love my home state am happy that she found her place in MN. I don’t like poetry much, but was inspired by your interview with Billy to look into his poetry. Your ability to relate and bring out these personalities was inspiring. How many times during these interviews you said things and thoughts of yours that the authors were so pleased! I just particularly felt your connection to these people! You are amazing. :) I’ve loved your books since Big Stone Gap forward and own every one. Your gift is from above.

I have been watching Adriana Trigiani’s Facebook lives for about two years and always walk away laughing, in good spirits, and profoundly touched by the great authors and conversations she hosts. This podcast is so much more of those conversations! As one of my most favorite writers in time, Adriana has a beautiful way of connecting and talking with other writers. Her conversations can’t help but be all about all books! I walk away uplifted and full of faith and with a new to me author’s book or an author’s backlist of books to read. Two of my favorite podcasts were her recent live with Kristen Hannah. I loved that story and cried so much. I read it quickly; 2 nights and an afternoon. I cried at the end of the Q&A with the audience almost as much as I cried through The Women. First there was the woman who came as a Christmas Gift. Then there was the 85 year old woman’s birthday present was to be at the live show and Adri lead everyone in a chorus of Happy Birthday. She is such a natural people person which comes through in all of her books and in her interviews or rather conversations with other authors which I get to sit in on and listen! This podcast is the best project Adri has done yet! Love it and love her!! A Sante! Maureen Van Dusky

I ❤️❤️❤️ You are What You Read! I have been a fan of Adrianna Trigiana my whole life! At least since my mom introduced me to Big Stone Gap. I devour your books. This podcast is phenomenal! Although it has increased my TBR immensely! 😉🥰 Sophia is another of my favorite authors! I have devoured her books as well. I was so sad when I saw her post about her life event. I am sooooo glad I listened to this podcast! I LOVE her attitude! I LOVE that she put herself and her family first! I feel positive for Sophia’s future! I can not wait to read this book. I can’t wait to read all her future books! Adriana- keep up the great interviews! I want to be you when I grow up! Thank you for what you do! 💖

I tune into the You Are What You Read podcast every week. Adriana’s conversations with the authors we love about the books that connect us all always leave me feeling inspired and enlightened. Her latest chat with the great Sophie Kinsella is one of her best yet, reminding us of the healing power of positivity and humor in even the toughest of circumstances.

I was initially enticed by the list of authors being but after two episodes, I removed the podcast from my library. The host won’t shut up. Instead of asking pertinent questions, Ms Trigiani relentlessly holds forth on what she thinks about the author’s life and work. Not impressed.
