Four friends in their 20s realized none of them were reading books like they used to. 

So, Ben Bradbury hosted a casual gathering on their rooftop, invited some friends, put together a playlist, and everyone just... read books together. Then they chatted about what they were reading before calling it a night.

But it caught on. Ben and three of his friends formalized things a bit, named it “Reading Rhythms,” planned more get-togethers, expanded their invite list, and started sharing it on Instagram.

As these reading parties continued, they garnered attention in places like the New York Times, and this hobby quickly became a worldwide business. 

In this episode, Ben walks us through what a reading party is and how you can bring one to your city.
