Dear Reader
Hosted by Emily Gushue Whalen and Michael Collins
Dear Reader is a podcast by two old friends. When they were young, Emily and Michael were total bookworms who bonded over a love of literature. Now, two babies and an abandoned PhD later, both of them find it sometimes difficult to get into reading the way they used to. Every episode, Emily and Michael catch up with each other by asking: read anything interesting lately?
Dear Reader Michael picks at the banality of evil protrayed in Kazuo Ishiguro's An Artist of the Floating World, while Emily desperately wants to finish Isabel Allende's enchanting work of magical realism, The House of the Spirits, but is prevented from it by living on a windswept rock in the North Atlantic.
