We believe the question "What are you reading?" is a powerful question. It presents each of us with an opportunity to build community, share experiences, and express the things that matter to us.

On our podcast, What Are You Reading? we talk with interesting Atlantans about books. In free-flowing conversations recorded live at Atlanta Vintage Books, we find out what people from our city are reading and how those readings relate with their lives, work, and communities.
