Branded company podcasts are storytelling, so it’s a great fit to have one such podcast that is about reading and storytelling itself:

The Reading Culture

This show is from Beanstack, which makes resources for schools to support student reading, and produced by Lower Street. I like the approach from Beanstack to appeal to parents and educators with the show - they are the ones who can either directly make purchasing decisions of Beanstack for their districts, or can advocate for using it. The show specifically encourages listeners to ask for Beanstack at their schools.

I listened to the most recent episode that interviewed author Jewell Parker Rhodes, and I really liked the themes about how reading can change community culture, and how there are a wide range of storytelling styles around the world. The show also ends with a fun touch of a featured librarian section talking about key lessons and the books they are reading.
