Welcome to the Book Ride Podcast. It's a weekly news and talk show about what's new, cool

and worth talking about in the world of books and reading. We're recording belatedly,

where we have just a bunch of links.

We haven't talked about what we're

going to talk about related to these links and so we're spontaneously doing it right and that's kind of the the stick that we do and having to do it over again is way out of scale with how actually hard it is

compared to how hard it feels to do.
