This is a podcast about reading and finding relationships between randomly paired books. The first season's episodes start with a book I'm currently reading, and then add a book that I read two years ago that is determined in a fairly random way, I see what there is to see in the matter between them. Sometimes it's amazing. Sometimes ... well, I get a laugh out of it, at least.

Episode 16 begins with a loss. I recorded the episode originally, had an amazing moment of thoughtfulness and clarity and then lost almost the entire episode. Re-recording it was an experience in thoughtfulness without overpreparation. The books that are in conversation in this episode are extraordinary and well worth their reading.Also, surprise c…

There's a lot to look at, and some fact checking to be done.

This episode has unfortunate background noises for a few minutes at the beginning.Which is a drag because your host goes through a bunch of emotions while talking about the novel This Too Shall Pass, an unexpectedly moving short novel about a woman whose mother has just passed and the journey into and through grief that she begins. Listener, it end…

Episode 13 starts with your host in a swirl of emotions after finishing Among Flowers in a day because it is such a beautiful book. I learned of it through the POC Travel Book Club organized by Bani Amor (although this book is not on their reading list as yet, it was an option that reminded me that I own a copy and could read it!).After waxing a bi…

Episode 12 opens with a lot of joy and happiness because The Summer of Jordi Perez (and the best burger in LA) by Amy Spalding is a joy from beginning to end. My YA reading group read it for May, and I loved being able to spend some quiet time with it before I spent chatting time with my friends.This is a lovely book about a girl who is a plus size…

Episode 11 threw me for a good loop. I finished Eloquent Rage and considered the personal damage done to Love and living because of over-policing. Also my roommate came in so I got a bit off track, but got back on track.The second book is a novel, and the relationships are layered and hard-working.Check out www.twitter.com/potentcastpod for links t…

In this episode, I felt like sitting down with a craft book. So I did. and it was enlightening and infuriating, as craft books tend to be. Being able to make a book is a very cool set of skills, and the book that I grabbed is mostly about making kind of fancy, not necessarily useful books. They are pretty and they take up a lot of supplies and time…

Episode 9 finds me at the edge of a diving board ready to fly! I start with William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, and am thrilled to discover how much more energy there is in the text of this play than I remember, even from the last time that I read it (which was only a couple of years ago, to be honest (I love my reading group)).We read this to be…

Episode 8 is about cleaning up untidy ends or middles and sharing some of the more interesting messes that occurred after recording the first seven episodes. I talk about all of the books so far and offer a bit more insight into the lines that may connect them.Books and reading podcast by Jonesey által
