On Wednesdays We Read Podcast

Welcome to OWWR Pod, and by that we mean, On Wednesdays We Read

We are two best friends who are doing a deep dive into a book series, one book at a time.

Hannah and Laura are hilarious. No feedback necessary. They are also back to discussing Harry Dresden's antics. They cover the first third of Small Favor by Jim Butcher, discuss a book on endometriosis, and discuss their musical crushes.

Hannah and Laura are trapped in a video game and are forced to participate in a series of "adventures" created by AI. That's right! Today's episode is a discussion of The Amazing Digital Circus!! Hannah and Laura break down the episodes, characters hitting close to home, and how surprised they were by this very quirky show.

Hannah and Laura are welcoming back to the pod their friend, author Adrian M. Gibson, to talk about his newest release, A Murder Most Fungal! Adrian delves into how his experience working in restaurants helped him create characters, the responsibility writers have for the information they put out to their readers, and how he tries to capture the lived truth of ordinary experiences.

Today we are releasing OWWR LIVE RECORDING of @paulaustinardoin's new book, A Fatal Ingredient, the first book in the Milwaukee Foodie Mysteries! Paul does an amazing read from the book, and then discusses character development, difficult parents, and Milwaukee history!!

This upcoming Wednesday we have a BONUS EPISODE discussing @adrianmgibson's A Murder Most Fungal. This book is OUT TUESDAY, and we are so excited to highlight it on the pod.

So happy to be part of @paulaustinardoin's book release party today at @indeedmilwaukee! Hannah was able to stop by, ask questions about book one of The Milwaukee Foodie Series, and get to see a ton of support for Milwaukee and Paul's book! Live episode drops Tuesday!!

Warning: this episode has a lot of fruit talk. Hannah and Laura chat about food, a cute anime, and missing the days of mediocre TV. They also wrap up their discussion on Platform Decay by Martha Wells and decide that they want to be "Emotion Check" people instead of "Redacted" people. IYKYK.

Hannah and Laura are THRILLED to have romance author Mazey Eddings on the pod to talk about her newest release, You Won't Forget Me! Mazey talks about she sees books as a "snapshot in time," reflects on sharing her purpose with the world, and how she navigates writing mental illnesses in joyful stories. Hannah and Laura geek out over all of Mazey's books/characters, get some good advice related to waffles and dentistry, and decide to make Mazey their new best friend.

This Saturday we will be at a release party with @paulaustinardoin for the release of his new book, A Fatal Ingredient! We are so excited to be hosted by @indeedmilwaukee and watch Paul do a reading, followed by a light interview with us and a Q&A from his fans!
