  • Paula McLain Escapes into the Paris Underground

    Paula McLain Escapes into the Paris Underground
    Jan 8 2026
    Paula McLain’s Skylark is the GMA book club pick this month and we are so pleased she sat down with us too. This book is a beautifully written, touching and suspenseful story centered around the meaning of freedom, and the prices we pay to attain it. Paralleling two stories in Paris, one in the 17th century, the other on the dawn of WWII, each story takes us into the depths of the Paris underground, exploring hidden tunnels, abandoned quarries and secret rivers. There is a second Paris that is hidden under the streets that tourists know and love. And this story explores the lost depths of the city while handing readers unforgettable characters with page turning action. McLain herself is an amazing woman who has taken her challenging life and turned it into a gift for the written word. She shares her experience and how it shaped her writing. Join us for an unforgettable conversation with a terrific writer.

  • Getting Books In Their Hands: Stephen and Ayesha Curry

    Getting Books In Their Hands: Stephen and Ayesha Curry
    Dec 25 2025
    We have devoted several podcasts to the issue of how parents get children to read - off screens and into pages. We talk about it - others DO something about it. You might not expect to find Stephen Curry, the great pro basketball player, to be among that group. However, Stephen and his wife Ayesha have a foundation - Eat.Learn.Play - and over the past few years they’ve given books every Christmas to every elementary school child in Oakland, California where Stephen started his pro career. They invited us to Oakland to see the program in action. Charlie went and had a chance to talk to the Currys about why they, like the two of us, think this issue is so critical.

  • Abir Mukherjee and the Beauty of Historical Mysteries

    Abir Mukherjee and the Beauty of Historical Mysteries
    Dec 11 2025
    Abir Mukherjee was a revelation to us, even if he is already an international bestseller. The Burning Grounds, the sixth of the Wyndham and Banerjee mystery series will keep readers guessing while dazzling them with terrific writing. His series takes place during turn of the century in Imperialist India, and he exposes the good, bad and ugly, from both a British and native perspective. He knocked us out, and we bet his Wyndham and Banerjee series will knock out our listeners too. Join us!

    We are so pleased that our Writer in Residence, J. Ryan Stradal, has sold his newest to Atria Publishing. He is here this week to tell us how he did it, and how Atria became his new home (and it apparently involved an auction). We are also joined by the husband and wife team behind Bound and Vine, a brand new bookstore in Fayetteville, North Carolina that brings military families together to share ideas and share community.

    Megha Majumdar and Moral Ambiguity
    Nov 27 2025
    Megha Majumdar was on the short list for the National Book Award, and we were rooting hard for her to win. She may not have won THIS year, but her talent and her world building skills had us clamoring for more, so we have no doubt you will see her name on the list again. A Guardian and a Thief is a novel that asks (and not didactically) what you would do, what morals would you compromise, to survive. What would you do to ensure your children survive? We talk to Megha and then discuss a new unique Chicagoland Independent Bookseller holiday tradition with a local organizer. Join us and Happy Thanksgiving.

  • John Irving Creates a Queen

    John Irving Creates a Queen
    Nov 20 2025
    We DO love talking to John Irving. In our winding, wandering and wonderful conversation we cover it all from his newest, Queen Esther, the art of writing backwards, skiing in Vienna and the eccentricities of bike pump usage. If this description doesn’t entice you to listen, we don’t know what will. John Irving is one of the most masterful writers of our time. Sit down with us for our third conversation with him to find out what motivates his work and makes him tick.
