Since we're all being encouraged to practice social distancing these days, Dave, Scarlet and I decided to plug in our mics and record our first-ever episode where we weren't in the room together (something that hasn't been done on this show since the old Reading Writers days).

Listen in as we discuss from the safety of our own homes (and Dave's office):

• We officially introduce our new co-host!
• Whether or not it's a good idea to read post-apocalyptic novels when we're kinda maybe sorta at risk of living in one
• What it's like to be at home all-the-time
• What I (Aaron) had to do to get on Amazon's "special handling" list
• Read-aloud time at home and online bookclubs
• What Dave thinks of Paul Coelho's The Alchemist

My commitment to our listeners during this difficult time

Children of Men by P.D. James
