In GBA 338 we get better acquainted with Jessica. She talks about how she discovered reading and how she discovered audio, doing radio as a way to get into podcasting, unlearning and challenging values learnt in childhoods, the complex political situations we are experiencing and the history that has formed them, and so much more.
Jessica Stone presents Dear Reader, "the no-review book show about what we read, and why it matters" which is currently in the process of transitioning from a community radio show into a podcast.
