Our Podcast is intended to stimulate a dialogue about the issues and ideas we find in books, and also what we learn about ourselves and the world around us as a result of diving into literature . . . of all kinds. “Books are a sort of cultural DNA, the code for who, as a society, we are, and what we know. All the wonders and failures, all the champions and villains, all the legends and ideas and revelations of a culture last forever in its books.” The Library Book, by Susan Orlean
