Welcome to Books & Beyond, a podcast series that’s more than book recommendations (although there will be plenty of those)—it’s a space for extended conversations about reading. In Books & Beyond, I sit down with a different guest each episode to explore what’s on our reading minds. From the books we love to thoughts on publishing, reading goals, and the literary world at large, these conversations will go beyond the pages, providing a deeper dive into what it means to be a reader.
If you love, not only books, but movies and tv shows you will LOVE this episode! Brett has worked in Hollywood for years, casting hit shows like Scrubs, Cougar Town, Last Man Standing One Tree Hill, and the big Apple TV hit Shrinking, now filming the new season three (we get some scoop!)
