Back That Book Up

Arts EN ↓ Епізодів: 6

Sociology, Storytelling & a whole lot of Chaos. Hosted by Sociologist and "Frizz and Go" founder, Sylvie. Back That Book Up goes beyond the plot. Sylvie chops it up with authors to unpack the politics, social issues, and messy human dynamics in their latest novels. Expect a space where political conversations happen naturally, tea is spilt generously, and we air our humorous grievances about characters we love (and hate).Who is this for? All are welcome... Especially if you'd bring a book to a party if it fit in your bag. You are my kind of person.
