Doug Reads With Friends is a podcast built around good books, good people, and the pleasure of a thoughtful conversation. Each episode, Doug invites a friend to bring a book and see where the conversation leads. Along the way, they talk about reading, work, friendship, curiosity, and the strange, meaningful ways stories shape how we understand the world and each other. The book is the excuse. The friendship is the point. Buddies. Books. Banter.
