Do you think "the r word" has been overused in storytelling? Or do you think it has it's place? In this week's podcast episode, we are discussing how r*pe is used in storytelling to add shock value. What are your thoughts? Do you believe it has merit or do you think authors, writers, and directors should expand outside of this and come up with more creative ways to tell stories?

Dear Reader Podcast

Books are what brought the three of us together. Sharing exciting adventures and new worlds with each other created a bond like no other.

After being part of multiple book clubs together over the years, there was always a distant dream for each of us to own a bookstore. Although this dream was years in the making, we decided to finally take the leap in January 2022 and open Dear Readers Bookstore and Podcast.
