  • New favorite bookish podcast

    I just listened to my first episode of the Book Gang Podcast, and I loved it. Amy Allen Clark takes what might be a typical interview with an author and elevates it. She digs in and asks questions that really get to the heart of what the book is about. I can’t wait for the next episode!
