Through Goodreads, Roger invited me to listen to Book Shook because I was reading Steinbeck’s East of Eden. I found Roger’s podcast presentation very interesting. Combining his plot summaries with readings of key passages and his own reflections, Roger offers enthusiastic and insightful commentary on this classic work. He also invites participation from his listeners, giving his podcasts a “global book club feel”. Give him a listen!
Roger compiles his own opinions with paraphrasing, quotes, and outside opinions to create a thought provoking episode... can’t wait for ep.2
I am such a fan of Roger. His insights are so valuable. I love hearing the details he highlights, oftentimes it is something that passed right over my head! Great podcast for any true book lover. I am subscribed!
