Episode 1! Hey. This podcast is essentially a book review/book club/space for me to ramble that will always include a conversation with a writer. On today's episode, I give you the lay of the land. What we're doing here, why we're doing it, and how you can be part of the journey if you so choose. After my intro bit, I have a great conversation with Charlie Carillo. He is a writer and author of TEN novels, as well as one work of non-fiction. That's all on top of his decades of experience as a print journalist, television producer, father, gentleman and all around great person to listen to. Last year, he published a novel called "The Skylight Room." I read it and it's a fun time you don't want to miss. You can follow him on Instagram @carilloauthor and find his books at places like Barnes & Noble, Amazon and more.
