For the better part of a decade, Uli Beutter Cohen rode the subway through New York City's underground to observe society through the lens of our most creative thinkers: readers of books. Greenlight welcomed the acclaimed creator of Subway Book Review to our (virtual) stage to launch her new book Between the Lines, a timely collection of beloved and never-before-published stories that reflect who we are and where we are going in the form of over 170 interviews. In an ebullient, lively conversation with Glory Edim (Well-Read Black Girl) and Lupita Aquino (aka Lupita Reads), Beutter Cohen discussed the history of the Subway Book Review project, the power of community and its status in the book industry and in the age of social media, and the importance of the interview as an act of co-creation between interviewer and subject—a principle the three put into practice with aplomb! (Recorded October 20, 2021)

Deep beneath the asphalt streets of New York City lurks a breed of creature that's haunted the subway's subterranean labyrinth for over a century. No, it's not sewer alligators or radioactive rats. Instead, we're speaking of…bookworms. And documentarian Uli Beutter Cohen has been on the hunt to capture their travels. In 2014, Uli founded the viral Instagram account Subway Book Review, which documents her conversations with subway riders about the books they're reading. After spending nearly a decade exploring the literary landscape of the underground, Uli has learned: “Readers will tell you what's coming in culture.” Now she's compiled 170 of her favorite bibliophile encounters in her first book, Between the Lines: Stories from the Underground, which features conversations about books with notable authors like Ta-Nehisi Coates, Min Jin Lee, Roxane Gay, and more. In his debut episode as a guest host, Book Dreams producer Gianfranco Lentini sits down with Uli to discuss her experiences and to consider…what does it mean to belong in a city of 8 million people? Subway Book Review has been featured on TV, in print, and online by New York Magazine, Esquire, Forbes Women, Glamour, Bustle, Vogue, The Guardian, Refinery 29, The Atlantic, BBC and more. Uli's interview work and writing about human connection and belonging has been published by The Washington Post, Here Magazine, The Creative Independent, and HuffPost. Today, contributors to Subway Book Review are reporting from 20 cities around the world.

This week on the podcast Angela chats with Uli Beutter Cohen, who spent the last 7 years riding the subway and asking people what they were reading.

Angie and Uli discuss their favorite subway stations (obviously), the need for Savasana, and what the next 10 thousand years might look like.

In 2013, Uli Beutter Cohen decided to start asking riders on the subway what they were reading, and what they thought of it, eventually founding the popular Instagram account Subway Book Review. Cohen has compiled the best of these interviews and photographs in a new book, Between the Lines, and joins us to discuss.

Ever made eye contact with someone reading on the subway? Uli Beutter Cohen has. As the creator of Subway Book Review, Uli shares *that* moment that ignited her quest to document people and books. Now her platform, which combines digital, oral, and written storytelling, spans over 20 countries. Uli explains what is behind a book (a reader and author), how books paradoxically offer both escapes and life lessons, and why they are foolproof, the one medium of connection where there is always a solution.

We dive deep into loss and grief, empathy, and connection.Visit https://www.radicallyloved.com/episode-show-notes/ for the full show notes and action guide download.

Books are a totally different medium from television shows, movies, and podcasts. They're unique in the way that they require us to truly be immersed in the worlds they contain. We can't multitask while reading and opening books . As a result, the ideas on every page infiltrate our DNA in a profound manner. So if you have any kind of question, there is probably a book out there that can provide the answers. In this episode, Uli Beutter Cohen joins us to talk about books, and how they shape ourselves and allow us to peer into others' realities. We also talk about how the universe finds ways to converse with us amid the loss of a loved one. She discusses her book, Between the Lines: Stories from the Underground, which was inspired by hundreds of subway conversations. Uli also highlights the importance of empathy in a world of othering.

Episode Highlights Ray's Passing Uli shared her recent heartbreak of bidding farewell to her 18-year-old cat, Ray. Despite preparing a lot of things for her cat, it was still an unpleasant experience. Knowing beforehand that her cat would soon pass away didn't make it easier. She shares that you can't escape losing someone, and so you just have to surrender. A few days after Ray's passing, Uli found a blue parakeet on the ground. She believes that he gave the bird as a gift. This experience taught Uli that we must be ready for miracles that come our way. Despite our loved ones passing, their love for us never disappears. Their love is alive. Tune in to the full episode to hear what other gifts Ray has been leaving Uli! Subway Book Review Uli started Subway Book Review seven years ago when she had just moved to New York City. She thought this space could help her understand why the city is so magical. She chose the subway because the underground movements are the birthplace of so many human rights and artistic movements. In addition, Uli finds the subway phenomenal for only moving forward. It's also very democratic—everyone takes the subway. What stood out to her was how many people were reading books on the subway. Books and Accessing Others' Minds A lot of people read and start opening books mostly to escape into another world. But for Uli, she used her book as a way to begin conversations with strangers on the subway and to know their thoughts. Her interviews point out one thing: we are meant to equally receive all the love and radical acceptance available in the world. The book contains conversations from people who are reinventing the status quo and dreaming up what can be. She believes these are the people we must listen to. Listen to the full episode to hear more stories about these conversations! Empathy and Othering Othering refers to the separation of oneself from others. This concept is deeply interrelated with empathy. You must start accepting and empathizing with yourself first so that othering can be a foreign concept to you. Only after you start figuring out your relationship with yourself can you work out your place in the world. People are meant to be a wonder for you. They should not be seen as separate entities. Separating from Oneself Most people live their lives preparing themselves for whatever the world brings their way. In fact, productivity and self-help tools can sometimes get in the way of being still. But because we don't have an unstructured time where we can just be still and be present, we miss out on what the world has to offer. Sometimes, divergence from our set paths is not coincidental but actually comes at the perfect time. Books and Multitasking There's a lot of connection in social media. But opening books and reading them is one of the few things you cannot multitask. It requires your entire being to be present. Books infiltrate and shape you profoundly in a way that other forms of media can't. And if you have any kind of questions, there are books out there meant to give answers. Thus, reading is for people who really seek answers to their questions. Our Shared Realities There are as many realities as there are people. Throughout the years, it is through books that we're able to share these realities. Uli wants to create a space for healing, opening our hearts, and exploring the mind. Her book is a book of answers and possibilities. How Uli Feels Radically Loved Uli feels radically loved when, despite the chaos and a lack of control, she still shows up for herself and remains honest with herself. She welcomes all emotions and difficulties, and she'll take one day, one step at a time. 5 Powerful Quotes [4:18] “When you know [death is] coming, it does not make it easier. It makes it crazier because you see it approaching, and there's no escape. There's no control in it, right? You have to just surrender. It's the ultimate surrender of all surrenders” [10:18] “There is no end to the love … Human loss, pet loss, the love is still very much alive. Focus on that, as opposed to the grief of losing something because the love is not lost, the love is there.” [11:14] “The entire universe wants to converse with us… And I think that it's very easy for humans to feel and actually to forget that we're part of nature and that we are part of the eternal universe.” [18:16] “It starts with the relationship with yourself first. And then from there, you can figure out what your place in the world is.” [22:15] “A book is one of the last things if not the only thing that you cannot multitask… Therefore, [it] infiltrates your DNA in a profound way. That is why books stay with us totally differently than… anything else we consume that is media.” About the Guest Uli Beutter Cohen is an artist and documentarian, and the creator of Subway Book Review.

The scene: New York City, The Ludlow Hotel’s Dirty French restaurant.  The year: 2015 Across the table sat the guest of this episode and a dear friend of ours. The other side of the table - the LOA gals. In typical fashion, Holli and Jeanna were opining upon just about anything and everything up for discussion. Animated, passionate, and full of thoughts and opinions Holli and Jeanna collaboratively shared who to solve all problems, avoid all problems and the full range of dating advice any beautifully talented 20 year old might need. Shocking to you all, I bet. At some point that evening, amongst many shenanigans in SoHo, our guest looked at us and said ‘You two should do a podcast!!’ That’s right, our guest this episode was the inspiration (or the person to blame :) for the LOA Uncorked podcast - this episode is a full circle moment, for sure!

The Subway Book Review's founder and expert storyteller, Uli Beutter Cohen, joins Jordan Salcito for Episode 6. Uli brings us into her world to describe how to drink smuggled bottles of vintage Champagne, how to spot a fascist regime and why books matter now more than ever.

In December 2013, artist Uli Beutter Cohen asked a young woman on the Q train what she was reading, and if she was ok to have her picture taken. It had caught Uli's attention that New York City was a place where more people would read on the subway than anywhere else – always with a special sense of pride, and many emotions. Uli posted the picture of the women – a young dancer – reading “Catching Fire” on Instagram, on a new account she called Subway Book Review. The caption read "I liked the first two movies and wanted to read the book. I like post-apocalyptic books”. Today, the Subway Book Review is a global community and social media phenomenon, portrayed all the way from the BBC to Glamour to DER SPIEGEL. In episode 3 of the Wunderbar Together podcast, Uli shares how growing up in Germany shaped her, how moving to Portland, OR, turned her into a young entrepreneur, and how she built Subway Book Review into a platform with hundreds of thousands of followers. In our update call at the very end, she shares her radical reinvention in the current crisis.

On Episode 88, Alli and her guest Uli Beutter Cohen discuss their first experience reading Louise Erdrich's The Birchbark House, which was a National Book Award finalist for young people's fiction in 1999. In their conversation, they get real about the gaps in American education regarding the true history of indigenous people, talk about the importance of own voices stories, and share their love for the ways in which Erdrich's work connects both readers and characters to the natural world. Uli Beutter Cohen is the creator and editor of the Subway Book Review. Her work has been featured in New York Magazine, Esquire, Vogue, Glamour, Forbes, and The Guardian, among others. Follow the Subway Book Review on Instagram (@subwaybookreview).

After discussing the Subway Book Review project in our Episode 22, Uli Beutter Cohen and I discussed five books that Uli has recently read and recommends: How to Write an Autobiographical Novel by Alexander Chee, an essay collection by a Korean American artist and activist; The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls by Mona Eltahawy, which has been referred to as a striking anti-patriarchal manifesto written by an Egyptian American activist, “with enough rage to fuel a rocket”; On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong Ocean is a young Vietnamese-American writer — born in Saigon, he was raised in Hartford, Connecticut and his book is semi-autobiographical and speaks to his experiences as an immigrant and a gay man; COMMUTE - An Illustrated Memoir of Female Shame by author and illustrator Erin Williams, which has been referred to as intimate, clever, and ultimately gut-wrenching graphic memoir about the daily decision women must make between being sexualized or being invisible; and How to Start a Revolution, by Lauren Duca. To compliment Chee’s work, Uli also mentioned and discussed Bird by Bird: Instructions on Writing and Life, Anne Lamott; and Devotion: Why I Write, Patti Smith

The Bri Books Summer 2019 Reading Experience is here! At the end of the episode, I share the curated list of books we'll be reading this summer as a Bri Books community.  How can your bookshelf better reflect your values? Liana Rodriguez, a Bronx-based bibliophile, asked herself this question at the start of 2019. It led her to building her own personal library from scratch, full of narratives from diversified voices around the world instead of the cis-het White male writers of World Literature classes past. While celebrating "Well Read Black Girl" book club founder Glory Edim's anthology, "Well-Read Black Girl: Finding Out Stories, Discovering Ourselves" at The Wing Soho in conversation with Uli from Subway Book Review, I met Liana Rodriguez. In this episode, we go deep on Liana's bookshelf project, the importance of author's life experiences and who is doing the writing, book purging, and how to get back into reading after falling off. We finish the episode with a walking tour of Liana's library.    #BRIBOOKS SUMMER 2019 READING EXPERIENCE "The Wedding Date" by Jasmine Guillroy "The Other Americans" by Laila Lalami "Beasts Made of Night" by Tochi Onyebuchi Liana's reading recommendation: "The Midst of Winter" by Isabel Allende Follow Liana's reading journeys on Instagram.    You can follow along with the conversation on Instagram and Twitter using #BriBooks.
