Episode 24: A Long Time Coming

Hi everybody --

It's been a very long time between recordings. Much has been happening -- in our bookselling world and the world beyond bookselling.

In today's episode, we crack open a few beers and discuss both. 

Arguably, things really get going about halfway through when we finally land upon the topic of the war in Gaza and the issues that attain to booksellers/bookstores taking vocal stands. At the time of this recording, only a few had really done so -- for reasons we discuss. And even now, arguably only a few more have done so -- also, perhaps, for reasons we discuss. 

It is a heavy way to end what is usually a pretty light-hearted podcast. But it was a conversation we wanted to have, and thought that perhaps others were (& are) having as well.
