How We Read and Why

Rite Gud

[Full Transcript Here]

This is a writing podcast, so we talk a lot about reading. Most of the time, we’ve been discussing what we read, but today we’re going to discuss how we read and why we read. What’s the point of reading when there are other ways of getting information? Does reading make you a better person? And why are so many Americans so bad at it? Joining us today is Chrisbookishcauldron, book critic and YouTuber.
