Unlocking Great Books

Welcome to The 232 Degrees Podcast and we’re stoked to be back for Season 2.

We love books and reading, and in this episode we unpack Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man by Emmanuel Acho.

This is a powerful read, and we step into some uncomfortable convo as Emmanuel encourages us to do. He wrote this book in around 8 weeks - amazing. 

We discuss privilege, unconscious bias and the power of individual action. This was hard, and important.

Welcome to The 232 Degrees Podcast and we’re stoked to be back for Season 2.

We love books and reading, and in this episode we unpack A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. In a bit of a homage to the great writer, we talk the magic of travel books, ‘all the gear and no idea’ and time travel. Strap on the hiking boots, we’re off on a wander…

*PS Bryson has "retired" too! see link below...

Welcome to The 232 Degrees Podcast and we’re stoked to be back for Season 2.

We love books and reading, and you need to find books to fill that need!

In this episode Seán becomes roving reporter to visit the Avonhead Book Fair, hosted by St Christophers Church in his hometown Ōtautahi-Christchurch, New Zealand.

What is the magic of a book fair? Why do people visit? What are people looking for? There were some magic cross-generation conversations.

Welcome to The 232 Degrees Podcast and we’re stoked to be back for Season 2.

This episode is a little different, and something we will do more of; hearing how books change other people. In this interview with Chris Burnett, we discuss how Tuesday’s With Morrie came into his world at a poignant time, and how it inspired him to connect and reconnect with family and friends. Its a great conversation!
