Welcome to our crash course in poetry! We may not be laureates, but we have spirit and that's worth something, right? On this poetry for dummies episode we will each bring a different book of poetry from the various realms of the art form, and do our best to interpret and appreciate those works. Then we'll share some of our favorite poems and have a chance at ascending into true poetry fans. We have a lot of learning to do, but we're excited to finally be aboard the poetry express. And maybe you'll hear a few performance pieces along the way. Let us know some of your favorite poems/poets!

We've arrived at another book week and this go-round Delia Owens has provided us with an instant classic! We are discussing her 2018 novel Where The Crawdads Sing! After our opening thoughts we immediately answer the most burning question....could we survive the wild and isolation of the marsh?? Short answer: Obviously no. But long answer we think Dan's upbringing as a Kya-esque child of the Alabama wilderness would give him the best chance at staying alive. We make sure to give plenty of time to both "Tate Talk" and "Chase Chat" as well as our thoughts on the major court case at the center of this story. Our journey through Kya's marsh ends with our thoughts on the whodunit reveal, our support and admiration of Kya, and finally some shoutouts to the supporting cast AND the true star of the show, Sunday Justice.

We would like to extend a warm welcome to all you Reese-heads out there tuning in for the first time! On this week's episode Daniel reintroduces us to the wonderful Reese Witherspoon, who is an Academy Award winning actor, media/business mogul, and curates a widely acclaimed and wildly successful monthly book club. Dan starts by taking us behind the scenes for a look into Reese's media company Hello Sunshine, which is the backbone of her book club and production company as well as many of her other ventures. The next stop on our tour is the heart of the operation, where Daniel shares the mission of Reese's book club (along with some of her other charitable programs), to shine a light on female protagonists and female driven stories/narratives. And finally we close out by discussing the Reese's Book Club create-your-own or pre-made reading gift boxes! #NotAnAd Definitely going to be picking up some of those for ourselves and the readers we love. You can check all this out on the Reese's Book Club website or app. And join us by picking a book from the club list to read and support!
