The Village Podcast from The Bookshelf


Apr 8, 2023

Steph and Candice start with a regional conversation about moving around neighbourhoods, but end up bringing it to the esoteric about self and relationships.

They also talk memoirs and horror, more Stephen King, AI, and somehow even Hallmark movies.
