    Turek Books
    We’re never going to have enough time to read all the books we want, but hearing about them from an interesting person is its own valid form of experiencing their stories. Turek Books invites comedians and writers on as guests to grab a few books off their shelves that they really want to tell the world about.
    The compelling nature of chatting about the books we read becomes a springboard to revealing ourselves. The show’s subject matter ranges from inspirational favorites to petty grievances with all kinds of layers peeled back in between. Mostly, each guest returns to the good reads, those ones we can’t forget that rattle our souls for the better.
    Joshua Turek is a comedian, poet, and factotum whose viral rants on social media have found a home talking about his great passion of reading books. Turek Books Podcast, because all the clever names were already taken.

    big ups for the Miranda July shout out 4 minutes in - her film 'Me and You and Everybody We Know' is really special, hasn't gotten a lot of attention but Roger Ebert did place it on his top ten of the decade (!) and if it's good enough for the Rog, it's good enough for me.
