009_Making Time to Read when You Have a Toddler with Jerry Cooke

Jerry and I recorded this podcast back in APRIL and I have finally finished editing it to post it. Honestly, it’s wild to listen back to because Jerry and I hadn’t spoken regularly when we recorded it and now we talk all the time. Wild!

We discuss how he got into books, the first books he remembers reading, and (mostly) how he makes time to read with a little one running around and sans-commute thanks to quarantine. All the books and comics we chatted about are down below. Check them out!

Note:
We discuss Harry Potter and JK Rowling’s midnight releases in this episode; Jerry is a huge Potterhead. Since the recording of this episode JK Rowling has publicly taken another stand against the Trans and LGBTQIA+ community on her Twitter. Neither of us support or condone her words or actions and are supremely disappointed that she is using her platform to cause such harm and perpetrate hate.
