A Pair of Bookends

A weekly bookish podcast brought to you by host Hannah MacDonald. Each month, I dedicate an episode to a book I want to rave about and invite the listeners to read with me which includes author interviews so you can get the deep dive you're eager for. We also currently have a 'Debut Spotlight' series where I interview the freshest up-and-coming authors that I want to put firmly on your radar. Available on Spreaker, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever else you listen!
