Five years. 299 episodes. One ongoing conversation about books and writing.

This week marks the 5th anniversary of my weekly author interview podcast, What Are You Reading? What Are You Writing?.

What started as a simple curiosity—how writers work and what shapes their stories—has grown into nearly 300 conversations with authors across genres, backgrounds, and career stages. Along the way, I’ve been reminded how generous this community is, and how much we learn when we make space for each other’s stories.

I’m grateful to every author who said yes, every listener who tuned in, and everyone who believes that books, writing, and conversation still matter.

Here’s to curiosity, consistency, and the stories still ahead.
