Book Eaters Podcast

Listen as middle-aged women drink custom, crafted cocktails and debate with enthusiasm the merits of storytelling through its various mediums. The focus is on audio books and how it contrasts with movies, television, paper and e-books but we may wander into comic and online serial web novels. And, if we have too many, maybe raconteurs.
