SHE WELL READ
Alana Baumann and Samra Michael
For well read baddies who love books, pop culture, and everything in between. Best friends Lana and Sam are figuring out how to fit reading into their busy lives—and they know they’re not alone. That’s why they created a book club on the go: a seasonal podcast with bite-sized episodes where listeners vote on what they read each season. Whether you read all the time, once in a while, or are just picking up your first book in years, this show celebrates all types of readers. Being well-read is more than just books—it’s a way of life.
