BOOKED IN

Whatever is happening in the news right now, there's a book diving deep into the topic. As a journalist I love following the latest headlines, but wanted to take my depth of knowledge to the next level. Join me as I speak to experts - mostly authors - on the topics they have spent extensive time researching and reporting on. The topics may vary, but the conversational tone stays the same.
