Unprintable: The LitReactor Podcast Episode 16 - Advocating for Books (Guest: Robb Olson from Booked.)
Every month, Unprintable will take an irreverent look at books, the publishing industry, reading, writing, and more; featuring the know-it-all geekery of LitReactor columnist Cath Murphy, Education Director Rob W. Hart, and Managing Editor Joshua Chaplinsky.
Episode 16 - Advocating for Books (Guest: Robb Olson from Booked.)
We are joined by supposed rival podcaster, Robb Olson of Booked., and put the Great Podcast War of 2013 to bed with no dinner. He is an ubermensch and has a mellifluous radio voice. We debate Fifty Shades casting, Amazon's Matchbook, and the new Salinger documentary.
Reads: Bumbling Italian Satanists, interactive novels, cheerleader noir, and flying serpents cutting a rug.
Topic: Booksarecoolwho'swithme?C'mon! Being an advocate for the written word. Why is it so important and why do we feel compelled to do it?

WHAT?! You had Robb Olson on and not me?! Total snub.
*I'm kidding - don't hit me*
Love the Dream Warriors reference, that's actually my favorite of the series. For some reason. Probably the song.
YES!
NOT looking forward to constantly hearing "HAVE YOU SEEN THE FIFTY SHADES OF GREY MOVIE?!"
I AM looking forward to the new Shotgun Honey anthology however.
Delicious podcast on podcast action going on here... almost incestuous.
Incestuous? You should have seen us. Like a pack of dogs, sniffing each other, humping legs...
That being the Robs and Josh of course. I was a model of decorum, as always.
