The Pod Squad Sessions S2 EP10 6.15.2022 From Book to Film
First off, please pardon our sound quality. It was out first time recording in person together and our audio set up was new to all. Even after attempting to correct the issues in post, our audio was still sub par.
Now, on to the episode. We are discussing books that were turned in to films and whether they were successful or not. We also include books we'd like to see turned into movies.
What would you suggest we watch? Read? Be sure to leave your ideas in a comment below.
