Host Benjamin Rangel sits down with one of the co-owners of Lion’s Tooth, a local Bookstore, cafe, and subscription service with small press books and graphic novels. Ben and Cris talk about the origin of Lion’s Tooth, what makes Lion’s Tooth a unique, accessible bookstore, and how she and co-founder Shelly McClone-Carriere took a subscription service to a brick and mortar cafe.
