Matt is a great host and he does well in selecting guests. I am glad he showcases bookshops in towns and not metropolitan areas. I love the questions he asks. This podcast inspires me to shop for books and to read. Good for listening or sleeping.
Lovely podcast. Great guests and topics. Interesting information about independent bookshops. We need more of this!
This podcast is excellent and so is the host, Matt! He gives such fantastic insight into the variety of bookstores across the country and I really enjoy listening to every episode. Matt is a superb interviewer and truly asks all of the questions you’d want to ask bookstore owners. He does a great job leading these interesting interviews and makes them all flow really well.
This is a great way to visit bookstores around the country - what fan of reading doesn’t enjoy that? It’s fun to meet the assorted owners and learn more about the genesis of their business and the things they’re doing to draw in customers. Great job with the interviews about a topic near and dear to my heart!
I adore this podcast. It captures all the magic of running a bookstore with tons of great questions about the nuts and bolts. I could listen all day and it’s hard to wait for a new episode to come out. Thank you for this great pod!
