Reporting live from Washington D.C., Magda and Lindsay literally traveled halfway across the country to our nation's capital to soak in all the beauty at the 2025 National Book Festival.
Listen in as they walk through their favorite panels, from V.E. Schwab and Nnedi Okorafor to their gentle stalking of Tracy Deonn and a beautiful surprise YA panel with Erin Estrada Kelly and Kwame Mbalia.
Disclaimer: This episode was taped after 13 hours of walking with many pounds of books strapped to them, and thus the hosts of this podcast cannot be held responsible for any unhinged takes provided during the span of this recording.
