Traci Thomas Doesn’t Want Everyone to Read That One Book

Traci Thomas has produced nearly 250 episodes of her incredible podcast, The Stacks, and talking to her was a thrill for Julie. Traci is thoughtful and intentional and loves talking honestly about books. She joins Julie in this episode to discuss the satisfactions and occasional cognitive dissonance of interviewing, how someone responding to an idea with “I have follow-up questions” is a friendly sign to pivot, and why she holds deep hatred for the phrase “everyone should read this book.” Traci also explains why she believes that reviews are for readers, not for authors, and the importance of sharing honest opinions about creative work without worrying about feelings.
