Ep 380: Behind the Scenes of the Summer Reading Guide

Our 12th annual Summer Reading Guide releases this week!

We put so much time and effort into this big, big project. This year, we decided it would be fun to bring you along with us for a peek behind the scenes of how the guide gets created.

Today’s narrative episode features a bunch of voice notes and actual conversations between members of our team that take you into the nitty-gritty of making the SRG. Listen in to excerpts from team meetings about the guide, conversations about book-math, the excruciating (and arts & crafts heavy) process of final book selection, and many more of the details that go into making what has been a summer reading staple for many of you since 2012.  We've had so much fun along the way, and can't wait to share some of that journey with you before you open up your 2023 Summer Reading Guide.

We're pushing "publish" on the 2023 guide on Thursday, May 18 at 8:00am EDT (that's NYC time).
