It's difficult to fathom that a few nerds with a complete disregard for literature in their youth would grow up to find the love in books and invest time into developing and programming a weekly podcast. There are many things that drive a person forward, and for the lead host, Danny, he truly needed something in his life to fill the gaps and push him to be a better person. That goal was The Broken Shelf. But how did The Broken Shelf come to be? What event ignited the fire inside of him to read again? That thing is the very book he and Spangar will be reviewing. Butcher is a masterful author, and his ingenuity and dialogue forged a path for the literary cousins to expand their horizons and purchase loads of books - something they never imaged themselves ever doing. This is the story of The Broken Shelf, a short, maybe not all that important journey, but one that Danny and Spangar want to continue fighting for by giving one of their favorite books even a smidgen of the respect it deserves.

To anyone who has every listened to The Broken Shelf - we thank you!

Tune in every Tuesday for a new episode of The Broken Shelf.
