Asking for Audiobooks
Welcome to Episode 5! This episode is about a mish-mash of genres, so I brought on a hella knowledgable bookseller who can handsell anything to help me! Hannah Oliver Depp is a bookseller and the Merchandise Display Manager at Politics & Prose bookstore in Washington, DC. as well as a contributor to Book Riot and LitHub. She teaches classes at Politics & Prose on re-imaginings of archetypal characters, from King Arthur to Sherlock Holmes. Her job allows her to combine her two passions: psychoanalyzing dead white guys and putting diverse stories into their bewildered descendants hands. If you’re in the DC area come to the Read Harder book club at Upshur St Books where she and fellow rioters gather once a month to drink wine and talk all things bookish. She can be found everywhere online as @oliverdepp. This episode is sponsored by Penguin Random House Audio and ROOM the movie.
