    The Currently Reading Podcast

    Currently Reading is a weekly book podcast for people who want honest book recommendations and a smarter way to choose their next read. Every Monday, hosts Meredith and Kaytee talk through the books they are currently reading and share spoiler-free book reviews across every genre.

    They will help you figure out what to read next, and their signature “Reader Know Thyself” approach goes deeper, helping you understand your own reading taste so your TBR finally works for you.

    Light on the chit-chat, heavy on the book talk.

    Ad-free, and proudly supporting independent bookstores always. New episodes every Monday.

    Named one of the New York Times’ “Best Podcasts for Book Lovers.”

    Minisode: A Preview Episode of "Trope Thursday with Kaytee and Bunmi" Sep 09, 2022
    Show notes

    Every once in a while, we love to drop a full episode sample of the kind of content you can get over on Patreon, and this month we are sharing our newest offering: Trope Thursday with Kaytee and Bunmi. In this debut episode, we are exploring "Debut Novels That Blew Us Away!" Here's what you'll find inside:

    Welcome, friends! This month, we are debuting a new patron bonus that I hope you will LOVE! Trope Thursday with Kaytee and Bunmi was a brainchild for about 4 months before this debut, and I hope you can tell the time and attention that went into it. Every month, we will focus on a "trope of the month" and have regular segments that you'll come to know and love. This episode is supposed to be INTERACTIVE. When you've listened, come tell us about your favorite debut novels! Or ask Bumni questions! Or tell us what trope you'd like us to explore! All of that is great fodder for future episodes - although we have roughly 4 years worth of ideas right now, ha!

    This inaugural episode is a bit longer than they will normally be, but that's because I want to introduce you to and let you get to know Bunmi Ishola and how this new episode came to be!
