Literary Disco

Every month on Disney Danielle I plan to have a week dedicated to recommending something that isn't purely Disney but has ties to it. This week I am recommending a podcast called Literary Disco!
The podcast is hosted by Tod, Julia, and Rider, three friends who went to graduate school together and are collective book nerds. If the name Rider stands out to you, good job. Rider Strong is an actor most known for playing the character Shawn Hunter on the hit 90s TV series, Boy Meets World.
While I was never a big fan of the show growing up, I've always viewed Shawn as my favorite character and the most well developed of the series. I'm so glad to see that Rider isn't the cliche child actor but is going into the realm he wants rather than what nostalgic fans ask of him.
It is very typical of me to recommend a literary podcast for my first recommend. I am a lover of books and literature and I am also a podcast fanatic. Combine the two and it is a match made in heaven as far as I'm concerned. Finding good podcasts about books isn't easy. I only listen to one other book podcast and have unsubscribed to many others after attempting to listen but just becoming annoyed (this excludes podcasts such as Game of Owns and Alohomora, two book podcasts that I adore. One focuses on Game of Thrones and the other focuses on Harry Potter). Literary Disco is intelligent while also entertaining and witty. The language can be choicey so this isn't a show for kids. The hosts go into unique segments such as grabbing a book from their book shelf and talking about it or klassics korner where they read two real quotes from a classic novel and one fake that they wrote and the other two hosts must guess which quote is fiction (pun intended). They also go into in depth discussions about books and their impact on the world and what the impact means. But my descriptions is feeble and can't actually describe the awesomeness that is Literary Disco. Go take a listen yourself by clicking one of the links below! You will be not disappointed!
