Podcasts about books podcast

This episode is a lot of laughs and a lot of fun. Mariah and Rachel join Ellyn and Amanda to participate in Ellyn's totally tubular game. The premise of the game? Ellyn has changed one word in the top ten Dog-Eared best-sellers and Amanda, Rachel and Mariah have less than two minutes to write a synopsis of a fictional book based on the new title. Ellyn's judges whose story she would read and whose she wouldn't. It's one of our most-fun and chaotic episodes yet.  ______________________________________________________________________ Make sure to subscribe and rate the Bubbles & Books Podcast.

On this episode of “613 Books” Podcast, Producer-Host Heather Dean's guest is Rabbi David Eliezrie, the senior Chabad Shliach in Yorba Linda, California. Rabbi Eliezrie the author of "Undaunted: How the Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef Schneersohn saved Russian Jewry, Reimagined American Judaism, and Ignited a Global Jewish Renaissance.” “Undaunted” highlights the courage of the Rebbe during the harshest years of Soviet oppression. While most religious leaders fled as the Communists closed synagogues and schools, Schneersohn remained, risking his life to sustain Jewish life and earning a reputation as “the last man standing.” Despite torture and a death sentence, his defiance led to his release through international pressure. Using historical documents and rare archives, Rabbi Eliezrie shows how the Rebbe introduced Chabad teachings in Western Europe, empowered women, and built yeshivas to revive Chassidic life. The book also recounts his dramatic escape from Nazi Europe and his arrival in the U.S., where he famously declared, “America is Not Different,” sparking a transformation in Jewish life. It documents the deep personal relationship between the Sixth Rebbe and his successor, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. “Undaunted” emphasizes that Schneersohn's mission was driven by self-sacrifice, not martyrdom. Even in exile, he led Jewish resistance and laid the groundwork for Jewish revival worldwide, inspiring generations of Chabad leaders to persevere under oppression. = = = Show notes; Featured guest: Rabbi David Eliezrie, Founder & Director of North County Chabad/Congregation Beth Meir HaCohen in Yorba Linda, CA Featured Book: “Undaunted: How the Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef Schneersohn saved Russian Jewry, Reimagined American Judaism, and Ignited a Global Jewish Renaissance” Link to Purchase on Amazon or Hamafitz: https://rabbidavideliezrie.com/books/undaunted/ Contact Rabbi Eliezrie through the North County Chabad Center website: https://www.ocjewish.com/templates/articlecco_cdo/aid/112336/jewish/Rabbi-David-Eliezrie.htm North County Chabad's Telephone Number: 714-693-0770 Email Rabbi Eliezrie: rabbi@ocjewish.com = = = To Purchase “Searching for Heather Dean: My Extraordinary Career as a Celebrity Interviewer and Why I Left It” on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Searching-Heather-Dean-Extraordinary-Interviewer/dp/965927050X = = = Show Announcer for 613 Books Podcast: Michael Doniger Michael's contact info, voice-over samples, and demo: https://michaeldoniger.com/ SUBSCRIBE to “613 Books” Podcast and discover new books every week!

Welcome back to the podcast where we "help writers write," and today's important subject is how to "Keep It Simple, Silly."We were planning another cross-country trip recently when we realized we were making our lives harder than they needed to be. Not only did we take a step back, we realized that, hey, maybe other writers would be interested in our homegrown solutions to turn complex projects into simple tasks. These are not original ideas by any means, but we stuck a few good ones into this podcast for your listening pleasure and, maybe, your increased sanity and decreased anxiety.Along with planning the trip and doing things on camera, we're writing and publishing almost every day. "Finding Salvation" is available for presale (links below), and the paperbacks should also be out on March 17, including our bookstore. CC is grinding away at her "Restless Spirits" series with a possible publication date of April 2026. And we have more books coming out after those! (Also, did you know we have our own bookstore?)W're having so much fun interviewing other authors about their books and the craft of writing. The first of two recent interviews included VL '"Tori" Stuart, a retired psychologist & author living in Costa Rica, who shared her journey from psychology to writing, her experiences as an expat, and her insights into the dystopian genre (link). On the NV Author Network, Jade Griffin shared her experience and wisdom on the interplay between tabletop gaming and writing. She also highlighted her upcoming projects and reflects on her past works (link).Here are those links to pre-order "Finding Salvation:"AmazonBarnes & NobleGoogleKoboLots going on!

In our latest episode of the “CC&JT Amateur Hour,” we welcome VL “Tori” Stuart, a retired psychologist and author living in Costa Rica. Tori shares her journey from psychology to writing, her experiences as an expat, and her insights into the dystopian genre.Tori's writing journey began organically, and we mean that in the literal sense. She noticed the absence of a gardening column in a local expat newspaper, so she approached the editor and began writing. This initial foray into writing not only earned her fan mail but also sparked her passion for storytelling. Her first serious writing experience opened the door to novel writing, leading to her latest work, "Zade," her first dystopian novel.Our conversation explores the themes of hope in dystopian fiction, the challenges of marketing books, and the impact of personal experiences on writing. Tori emphasizes the importance of standing against evil and the struggles of crafting a compelling blurb for her upcoming novel. The episode concludes with Tori's reflections on her past and where listeners can find her work.You can find VL Stuart on her website at https://authorvlstuart.com/Tori is on Facebook where she is the group admin for  “Marketing for Indies."+++Cassidy Carson and JT Hume (“CC & JT”) are independent writers, publishers, and co-owners of Two Moore Books, LLC out of Carson City, Nevada, USA.

Hi, all. It's writers podcast time and we hit a lot of sweet spots today, starting with the reminder that baseball season starts after today's Super Bowl. Woo, sports ball!But seriously, folks, CC and I had a fun chat today about our current and upcoming books in 2026, including the St. Patricks Day release of "Finding Salvation." Three novellas in one book. yay!CC talks about her Restless Series books in which she hopes the second book will be released in April or May. You should really check out the first book.We spend some time in the podcast praising our partners in our books' creative process: the Beta readers. We are so grateful to these literary warriors for accepting the responsibility of reading and critiquing our manuscripts. Their fresh eyes are so important to produce the best copy possible. We provide ideas and thoughts that are mostly centered on one thought: be nice to your Beta readers.

We here at the “Amateur Hour” invite writers to join us to chat about the craft of writing. This week, KJ Waters shares her journey as a writer, detailing her experiences from the initial inspiration sparked by natural disasters to the challenges of marketing her books. She discusses the evolution of her writing process, the importance of planning in a series, and the influence of her favorite authors.She began her writing journey in 2005, spurred by the dramatic backdrop of four major hurricanes striking Florida shortly after she moved there with her young children. This tumultuous period ignited her creativity, leading her to explore the idea of time travel, inspired by her love for Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. KJ realized that the excitement of hurricanes intertwined with time travel could form the basis of a captivating narrative. She spent ten years crafting what she initially thought would be a single book. However, as she shared her ideas with friends, they encouraged her to expand her story into a series. KJ also reflects on the balance between creativity and the business side of writing, offering insights into the realities of being an independent author. The discussion culminates in a fun segment where KJ answers unique questions about her life and writing philosophy, leaving listeners with valuable takeaways about the writing journey.You can learn more about KJ and access her books at her website: https://www.kjwaters.com/Her books are available at Amazon, and her social media includes Facebook, TikTok, and Twitter/X. +++Cassidy Carson and JT Hume (“CC & JT”) are independent writers, publishers, and co-owners of Two Moore Books, LLC out of Carson City, Nevada, USA.

Please note: This episode was recorded on Friday, January 23 2026. Recently, Dog-Eared Books shared a reading list designed to help deepen our understanding of fascism, full of titles we believe are essential for thoughtful learning. We paired that list with a quote from George Orwell's 1984 as part of a window display at the store, and the response was overwhelming. Comments poured in from across the country and around the world. Today, we're taking a closer look at that reading list of both fiction and nonfiction books, and reflecting on why their ideas remain so urgent and important.

For this episode of the "CC & JT Amateur Hour," we discuss the tools of the writing trade. During our professional experience as authors, we've seen a few things, as the saying goes. CC and I took typing classes back in the day, and we've seen and used all flavors of PC word processors up to and including the most recent version of Microsoft Word.We had the recent privilege of interviewing two writers who, in their own ways, represent the yin and yang of the modern set of writing tools and technology. Arnie Bernstein uses typewriters to create his manuscripts, and Kendall Brown uses virtual reality and ChatCGT to support her creative process.CC and I discuss these methodologies and technologies, noting that each has their strengths and weaknesses. We also make clear we do not advocate the illegal use of AI to infringe on the literary artist's creative works. We do try to predict the future which may include platforms like Amazon and Google imposing their technologies and policies on self-published writers.It's a complex issue, and we encourage you to check out Arnie's, Kendall's, and this podcast before flaming us.

On this episode of “613 Books” Podcast, Producer-Host Heather Dean's guest is Mitchell A. Silk, author of “A Seat at the Table: An Inside Account of Trump's Global Economic Revolution.” Mr. Silk served as assistant secretary for International Markets at the US Department of the Treasury and was the first Hassidic Jew to ever serve in a presidentially nominated and Senate-confirmed role. This is PART TWO of a two-episode interview, which is a deeper dive into Mitchell Silk's foray into: the upper echelons of the US Department of the Treasury; formality and protocol with the Chinese delegation; and formulating the historic Abraham Accords! Recap from Part One of this interview: From his earliest beginnings as a dishwasher in a Chinese restaurant to his work in international law and finance, Mitchell A. Silk's story illustrates how perseverance and divine providence led him to become the first Hassidic Jew ever confirmed by the Senate for a position in the US Federal government and a consequential leader in Trump's Treasury. Mr. Silk is fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese, and he actively engages in pro bono work within the Jewish community. = = = Show Notes: Featured author interview: Mitchell Silk, author of “A Seat at the Table: An Inside Account of Trump's Economic Revolution” To Purchase “A Seat at the Table” on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Seat-Table-Account-Economic-Revolution/dp/B0F318DTSH To Purchase “A Seat at the Table” through the publisher, Simon & Schuster: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/A-Seat-at-the-Table/Mitchell-A-Silk/9798895652268 To Purchase “Searching for Heather Dean: My Extraordinary Career as a Celebrity Interviewer and Why I Left It” on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Searching-Heather-Dean-Extraordinary-Interviewer/dp/965927050X Show Announcer for 613 Books Podcast: Michael Doniger Michael's contact info, voice-over samples, and demo: https://michaeldoniger.net/ SUBSCRIBE to “613 Books” Podcast and discover new books every week!

Today, Amanda and Ellyn are highlighting Indigenous authors and stories in celebration of Indigenous Peoples Day. The history of replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous People's Day goes back to the 1970's! In 1977, the International Conference on Discrimination Against Indigenous Populations in the Americas, sponsored by the United Nations, first began discussing this change. It is a challenge to the notion that Christopher Columbus “discovered” a land that had actually been populated for tens of thousands of years. Dog-Eared Books is on the ancestral homelands of the Meskwaki Nation and Baxoje ich'e - also known as the Ioway (from which we take our state name) - peoples. Amanda and Ellyn have put together a list of some of their favorite Indigenous authors to share with you. We hope you listen and pick up Indigenous Stories year round.
