We Read That

Jenny and Dani

Jenny and Dani are friends, book lovers, and political scientists. In order to distract themselves from work and life’s responsibilities they read books and talk about them at length. With too much humor, judgement, and pop culture references.We Read That has two simple rules: (1) one of the hosts picks the book each episode and can't tell the other why they picked it; and (2) the book has to be fiction. Come join them and learn why they always have to shout “spoilers everywhere”.Socials: linktr.ee/wereadthatEmail: [email protected]
