Bookrageous 36: Bookish Origin Stories
2012 at 5am Posted by Rebecca Joines Schinsky
After a rollicking conversation about Swamplandia!, we took a break from our regular programming to discuss our bookish origin stories–where we started and how we ended up in the bookish jobs we have now. Hope you’ll listen, enjoy, subscribe, and let us know what you’d like to hear about in the future.

Just wanted to reach out to all of you at the Bookrageous podcast and say a big big thank you. The origins podcast was definitely inspiring. I’m 25 and a bit trapped in the corporate world as Jenn was (I’m currently at my job where I write sexual harassment courses blegh) and trying to find a way out.
That there perhaps is a way out, and populated with such fun people as yourselves, well, it gives me something to work towards now.
Thank you all so much for the book escapes during the day and everything else that you do!
This is an excellent episode from a wonderful show. I think it’s inspiring to hear how you all started getting invo9lved in all of this and I am so, so excited to have gotten the chance to hear how you lot got started. Thank you for sharing and also? I just want to say that you guys got me in the mood to do a backlog of ol d eps and I am so, so happy to have plenty to listen to.
