About This Podcast

Book Dreams is a podcast for everyone who loves books and misses English class. In each episode co-hosts Julie Sternberg and Eve Yohalem explore a book-related topic they can’t stop thinking about, everything from the genius of your favorite picture books to books bound in human skin. Julie and Eve are both award-winning authors, which allows them to come at interviews with an insider’s knowledge as well as all the wonder associated with storytelling.  Book Dreams is brought to you by The Podglomerate and is a member of Lit Hub Radio. New episodes run every Thursday. Find Book Dreams on Twitter (@bookdreamspod) and Instagram (@bookdreamspodcast), or email [email protected].
