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?
