 Welcome to the Reading After Bedtime Podcast! We're two friends who met in college and now, as busy moms, we do our best to carve out time for our favorite escape—reading. This podcast is our space to dive into the books we love, the authors who inspire us, and the tropes that keep us turning pages late into the night. No plot twist is too wild and no trigger warning is off-limits. Whether we’re deep in our comfort zone or venturing far outside it, this is a judgment-free zone for every kind of reader. We hope you join us for our honest, entertaining, and thoughtful conversations.Becca and Allyson Art
