Strong Sense of Place

Melissa & Dave

One lifetime is too short to visit everywhere and meet everyone. That‘s why we love books with a strong sense of place — they let us travel the world in our imagination. In each episode of our Strong Sense of Place podcast, we explore one destination and talk about what makes that place different from everywhere else.

  • Pure Joy

    I love this podcast! They make me smile. They make me curious. They inspire me to be adventurous. They spark new interests. There is never a dull moment. (I always trust Mel’s assessment on the foods she talks about because her Well Fed series has some of my very favorite foods) Bonus: every single book that I have purchased based on their discussion has been a pleasure. THANK YOU for your impeccable work.

The hosts have an engaging format that feels like a conversation with a great friend, a mini info guide about a destination/theme, and diverse book recommendations they’ve fully read! After listening, I check out books from the library I never would have encountered, everything from nonfiction, to graphic novels, to literary fiction. This podcast feeds my love for reading and travel in one place! I learn about places around the world, and am reminded of how beautiful each cu... more

When Dave responds “yeah” when affirming Melissa 1b.) When Melissa laughs at something Dave says that surprises her. 2. The TBR goes dumb stupid crazy. 2a. I love how you organize your topics 3. You read books outside of what’s popular in the zeitgeist. You introduce topics... more
