I tell you, I have many happy memories when I was a kid about learning to read and learning to love reading.

Some of that was because I was a little nerdy kid and my parents were always pushing books in my face.

But so much of that was the reading positivity and the storytelling of Lavar Burton.

Someone who I'm so happy to get to talk about right now because it's really true.

My childhood was informed by this and look, Lavar is now recreating that magic for grown-ups on his podcast.

Lavar Burton reads, which is back for a new season this week over on Stitcher.

In each episode, Lavar hand picks a different short story and reads it aloud.

Read to Write To You.

Past episodes feature stories from Neil Gaiman, Octavia Butler, Rooki Murakami, and many more.

Don't miss it. Subscribe to Lavar Burton reads on Stitcher or wherever you listen.

Hello to everybody figuring out how to get a horse to San Diego.

It's beautiful and anonymous. One hour. One phone call. No names. No holds barred.

And I'll get to know you and you'll get to know me.
