No Shelf Control: The Books, Booze, and Banter Podcast
A biweekly podcast for readers, by authors. Each episode, Lindsey Sparks and Lindsey Pogue chat about either a book-to-screen adaptation or a popular BookTok book, discuss their latest reads and overflowing TBR lists, and talk about what they're working on right now, usually with a cocktail or glass of wine in hand. Spoilers and tangents are welcome. And swearing. ;)
