I’m talking about why reading is still my favorite form of media and why nothing else compares. I share some of the books that shaped me and explain why reading slows me down, deepens empathy, and gives me something no other medium can.

Books I mention in this episode

• Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi

• The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett

• The River Is Waiting by Wally Lamb

• The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

• Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
