1 - Creators Talk Podcast
📚 Dive into the world of bookish content creators – those amazing individuals who craft content that makes you want to grab a book and dive in. It's like having a chat with the cool folks behind the scenes, without saying the "influencer" word. We're talking to them about how they create content that sparks your reading enthusiasm and their step-by-step content process. Imagine chatting with your favorite YouTuber or BookTuber, but on the audio waves!
2 - Founders Talk Podcast
💼 Ready for a laid-back chat with the brains behind businesses and the books they love? We're hanging out with founders, business pros, and maybe an investor or two. Discover how their favorite books are like secret ingredients in their recipe for success. It's not your average business talk; picture a chill book club meeting with a sprinkle of business wisdom. Founders talking to founders – making business a little bookish!
3 - Author Talks Podcast
📖 Jump into the world of writing and books with us. We're having conversations with authors about their latest creations and the magic behind their writing process. It's like sitting down for a cozy chat with your favorite authors – curious, fun, and full of excitement. Readers talking to writers – because every reader has a bit of a writer's spark too!
Get ready for a podcast that's like a fun book club gathering. The Bookum Nook Show is where stories come alive, and everyone's invited!
