The Bookum Nook Show
🎙️ Welcome to The Bookum Nook Show:
Join us for a podcast adventure that's not one, not two, but three shows in one!
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!

Holiday Special 2025 l Bookum
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this holiday special of the Bookum Founders Talk Podcast, we sit down with special guest, Co-Founder, and brother, the brilliant Kris Colley II.
We talk through Kris Colley’s role at Bookum, how the idea for the platform first came together, and the journey that took Bookum from an idea to a billboard in Times Square. We also reflect on standout moments from 2025, including conversations with Hollywood Producers like Will Packer, the evolution of community features like Nooks, and the podcast episodes and books that defined our year.
To close things out, we jump into Bookends, a rapid-fire look at what we’re currently loving across books, film, television, and culture.
This episode is a year-end reflection on building in public, honoring the stories that move us, and looking ahead to what’s next for Bookum.
