We are two political scientists (and friends), Jenny & Dani, who love to read books and talk about them, life, and just random thoughts. "We Read That" has two simple rules: (1) one of us picks the book each episode and can't tell the other why they picked it; and (2) the book has to be fiction. If you love books and/or need to dissociate for an hour in the car or while doing chores, we are the right podcast. Come along on the journey with us! Beware: spoilers are everywhere.
Jenny and Dani hosts We Read That, a arts show with 22 episodes published.
