Welcome to the second episode of our podcast! In this episode, Rachel and I are discussing long books vs. short books and The Catcher in the Rye vs. The Go-Between. Buckle up; it’s a long episode. We certainly loved having our chat. AND I got a new mic, and… well, the editing time was certainly cut down drastically. We’re getting there!

You can listen by clicking on the audio above, or (hopefully!) on iTunes. I don’t know how this RSS feed thing works, but the episode should appear if you search for Tea or Books? on iTunes, or here. (It’s not there just after I published, but I assume these things take a while to register.) (UPDATE: it worked!)
