What would we do without our precious listeners? This week we discuss a topic submitted by Michael. (Thank you, dude, for giving us something to talk about!) We discuss experiencing physical sensations from well-written books, and Zane loses he
Sometimes when we need topic ideas, we take to googling. We're only human, after all. This week's googling unearthed a surprisingly deep topic of conversation. Do readers have the right to critique the work of a writer, even though they can't c
Are you capable of multi-tasking while reading? Listener Nick comes through yet again with a great topic for us. He asks us if we can listen to music or podcasts while reading, and we talk about our abilities to juggle. PLUS we discover that so
