Listeners will learn how to vanquish their To-Be-Read piles, get pointers on organizing their bookshelves and hear reviews on the newest reading gadgets. Brea and Mallory also offer advice on bookish problems. How do you climb out of a reading slump? How do you support authors while still getting books on the cheap?

BONUS Teaser - Reading Our Secret Book Journals!

It's MaxFunDrive. And here, for the first time, we give you an exclusive look (well, listen) at the craft of podcasting: presenting Casters on Casters.

In this episode, Mallory O'Meara (Reading Glasses & Reading Smut), and Jordan Morris (Free with Ads & Jordan, Jesse, Go!) improvise a musical number, sing the praises of one another, and Yes, AND...with one another. It's a hilarious conversation with a few life lessons sprinkled in.

If this glamorous, in-depth journey into what makes your favorite hosts tick inspires you, support them by joining as a member at maximumfun.org/join.

Edited by Jesus Ambrosio and Produced by Laura Swisher for Maximum Fun.
