Michael and I have been planning this podcast for months, but just now made the time to actually get it up and running. As you listen, it will quickly become clear that we are not professionals (not even close), so please be kind. I'm certain that we'll get better at this as we record more episodes.
In this episode, we discuss the concept of "comfort reading," what
we think about re-reading books, and Michael finds reading material suitable for a new "holiday" called 'Pi Day.'
It will probably take a few weeks for the podcast to make it into iTunes and other podcatchers, so for now, you can listen here or download it manually.
You can listen by using the player below. If your browser does not support javascript, you won't see the player; click the link below the player to listen, or right-click to download the episode.
If you're using Internet Explorer, click twice to listen.
