    Tayari Jones and the Meaning of Kin
    Feb 26 2026
    Tayari Jones is one of the country’s most gifted writers, and her newest, Kin, is sure to get everyone talking. Beautiful, wrenching and compelling, this is a period piece that takes place in the South around the 1950’s and 60’s. This is a book that will move you, and almost every sentence is a work of art. Finely crafted, Kin is one of our favorites this year and we were so pleased Tayari agreed to sit with us. We talk to her all about how she pulls off this book, and why it took her so long to get it done. Join us!

    Allegra Goodman’s latest, This is Not About Us is a treasure. Centered around the Rubenstein family, each chapter examines the Rubensteins from a different lens, a different perspective.

You will laugh, you will be moved, and you will be left with some brilliant tableaus of an American family as they struggle through life. We also have a terrific bookstore owner, Sarah Lacey (The Best Bookstore in Palm Springs and The Best Bookstore in Union Square, and yes, those are the names of the stores, brilliant right?).

  • Belle Burden and the Art of Being Vulnerable

    Belle Burden and the Art of Being Vulnerable
    Feb 12 2026
    Belle Burden’s Strangers is not your everyday memoir about divorce. After three kids, two decades and two homes, her husband was caught having an affair. When confronted, he walked out, saying that marriage and family were not “for him”. It was not about the other woman nor was it about a long bout with depression, it seemed as if he just woke up and decided to begin anew. Belle is left to search for answers as she questions her reality-did he ever love us? Did I make him unhappy? How can I move on with such a mysterious and traumatic narrative? Written with humor, care and love, this book really is a memoir of marriage and the mysteries often associated with a broken home. Trust us. Read it. Then tune into to our conversation with this amazing author and amazing woman.

  • The Librarians: A Must-See Documentary for Book Lovers

    The Librarians: A Must-See Documentary for Book Lovers
    Feb 5 2026
    This week we dedicate our show to a documentary that we think is important. We have promised our listeners to keep the podcast non-political (no shouting talking heads, no books with a political agenda). But there are some issues that are vitally important that we also believe are non-political. Book banning is first and foremost among these. Next week on February 9th, The Librarians documentary starts streaming on PBS stations across the country as part of their beloved Independent Lens series. Join us as we talk to two brave and brilliant librarians fighting book bans with all their might. We also talk to Kim A. Snyder, the director of the film about why the stories presented in this documentary are so important. Book banning is wrong. And we are talking about it this week.
