Hello! Welcome to the Men's Book Club. The inception of this podcast is as organic as the book clubs that your mother was probably into. We don't see many men sitting around and starting their own book club. So we did that. What's the Men's Book Club? Two men, who enjoy reading, discussing their latest reads. We didn't start this podcast because we wanted to talk about books. We constantly talked about books, so we created this podcast. If you have any suggestions or comments, you can find us on instagram @ Menbookclubpod Thank you for listening.
