Welcome to The Plot Simmers, a book discussion podcast.
Our approach will focus on highlighting discussion points through the books. The highlights could be critical points, funny quotes, or just an interesting moment in the story.
Through the podcast episode we'll state the book name and proceed to go through the highlights. For each highlight we'll state the page or location and say the words highlighted so that you can follow along. We'll discuss what made that particular highlight interesting and move on to the next one.
Each podcast episode title will have the title of the book being discussed. Each book will likely have 2 or more episodes of discussion.
Enjoy the podcast!
