Fun and Informative

This podcast does a great job bringing books to life with a deeper understanding of the people behind the words. I truly feel more connected to each book knowing where they came from and the messages in them.

Great way to learn about new books

I really enjoy hearing from authors and how they come up with the concept for their books. This podcast dives deeper than the author bio and shines a light on the process of writing a book, the inspiration for book ideas and a little more on an author’s life. Each episode is short and easily digestible!

Great way to get to know creators!

These interviews are so easy to bring into my library and share. The episodes are short enough that I can listen on my way into work and then use the book that very day with my patrons. Keep up the great work!
