The Bookbang Club is a Filipino bookish podcast where we talk about books and the stories we read and live. We're friends and fellow readers who turned our book club hangouts into a podcast and into a community where anyone who enjoys a good story can join the conversation and share their own experiences. From towering TBRs and bookstore hauls to reading habits and everyday bookworm life, our episodes are fun and lively, a little chaotic, and full of laughs, while still staying honest and insightful. No fluff, just good time. Come hang out, join the community, and share your story. Welcome to...
