A letter written on a cold dreary day

The Village Podcast from The Bookshelf ·

2020/11/10

Why do we read? To get away, to learn, to watch other people without guilt. Why do we write? Let's be honest, Steph and Candice come to no conclusions about these existential questions, but they try.

The Village Podcast from The Bookshelf ·

2020/04/22

Hey everyone, we are back! If you thought the store closed to the public and working from home would keep us from recording, you were almost right. It took us a bit longer to find the time we could connect but here we are. We check in with each other, chat about popular reads for strange times, and coping mechanisms. Now that we are all staying home all the time, we want to know either what you miss most or what you have found you don't miss at all. Let us know by email at podcast@bookshelf.ca Books

Kids are out of school and looking for things to do, like sitting on their mom’s lap while she tries to record a podcast. Despite distractions from Steph’s kids and the construction happening in the Bookstore we managed to get at least 25 minutes of actual conversation recorded! And only needed to stop mid-sentence a couple of times. I think you will notice the edit when that happens.
