Back That Book Up

Sylvie•www.frizzandgo.com

Host Sylvie chops it up with a different author each episode to deep dive into their latest novel, alongside getting to know the authors away from their literary creation. Expect a space for political conversations to be had, tea to be spilt, and humorous grievances to be had over the contents of novels. All are welcome... BUT especially those who would bring a book to social gatherings if it could fit in their bag. You're my typa person! A new episode drops on the last Tuesday of each month!
