The interviews in this podcast are very vibrant interviews with authors. It is like listening to two friends have a very interesting and educative chat. The mix with music chosen by the authors gives more meaning to the stories in the books.
Incredible host who asks brilliant questions. The idea of music speaking to narratives has changed my own reading experience. I have discovered some gems from this podcast and love hearing the conversations with authors
Love this podcast. Great host, intelligent questions. The voice of @BooksandRhymes is one that is much needed in this space. She says things that we’re all thinking and makes us think deeper about literature.
Thank you to Sarah for a fun and interesting podcast!
