Tell Me What You’re Reading

Howard Altarescu

Talking about books on the streets of New York, in the mountains of the Catskills and on the road.

  • Smart people and what they read!

    Feels like being around a stimulating dinner conversation and hearing from thoughtful people what they’ve been feeling, reading and thinking about. This also helps learn more about a topic and decide if a book belongs on my bookshelf through a more personal recommendation. Also this podcast has such a good vibe :)

  • Great cast of characters
