Forever Judging Special Edition Books by their Covers Another book show! I know, I know, it’s like I don’t know what else to talk about these days. But hear me out! Or better yet, hear US out. I’m joined today by Sara, whom you may …Read More….
Invoking the right of parley with the Cap’n! In today’s The Talking Place podcast, after so many years of listening to each other’s shows, our paths have finally crossed! Cap’n Mike has been the host of a handful of popular podcasts since the Xbox 360 …Read More….
It’s not hoarding if it’s pretty books!
This is a show many months in the making! Turns out coordinating a podcast with someone in Australia is not as simple as you would think. But it finally worked out and here we are!
I wanted to talk to Sara because she runs a fairly awesome bookish community that would’ve been wiped from existence if she didn’t raise it from the ashes. And now, it’s alive and thriving and about 200 people strong.
In this episode, we’re talking about monthly book subscription boxes, special edition books and how they appeal to the collectors in us, and of course, the discord that brings it all together.
Check out below for all the info we discussed! If I missed anything, reach out and let me know and I’ll update it.
Until next time!

Here are our Top 5 Books of the Year! After editing the show, I realized that maybe I should’ve gone with books that actually came out this year, as oppose to books I’ve read since some are a few years old. But too late now! Here they are, along with the books that we did not like!

Another show, another Al, part 2… or 3? It’s been sooooo long, I figured it’ll be cool to have Al on again. We talked a little about podcasting and what it’s like to handle the technical stuff about recording. And after a sweet, sweet interlude, …Read More….
Another show, another Al
Look, I’m not going to gloat or make a big deal here, but this show is out EXACTLY when I said it would be out! And it’s right on time with when my player said to expect my next episode. Sorry, this may seem like small potatoes to people but it’s a big deal in my book! But enough about me, what is going on this week?!
I had the pleasure of having Al back for another show! He is one half of The Retro ‘Rents, and if you don’t know him, the links are below.
This episode we were both catching up with a lot of off time. Both his and my show were on hiatus’ and we discussed the reasons behind that. How life has just been relentless with keeping us busy and away from the microphones. But if I had to choose a central theme for the show, it would be books.
We got into the conversation about reading and it just went on from there. Lots of recommendations were given (and linked below) and I have zero regrets. It was a great time as always when chatting with Al and I’m glad he stuck around for another show.
Which btw, I know I said in the intro I’m going to put together his episodes, but I back tracked on that and now you’ll be getting two shows with Al instead of one. You’re welcome!
Until next time!
