The BSR Podcast, season 8, episode 10: the 2024 Philly Bookstore Crawl on August 24
Darnelle Radford
Philly is a hotbed for everything nerdy and cool! So starts this conversation on the second annual Philly Bookstore Crawl, founded by local author and literary agent Eric Smith. He joins Darnelle in conversation with Sara Zia Ebrahimi Hughes, co-owner of Chestnut Hill's Multiverse, a shop for speculative fiction lovers (comic books, science fiction, fantasy, and horror), and Catie Gainor, owner of Binding Agents (a food-lover's bookstore coming soon to the Italian Market).
They explain how the Philly Bookstore Crawl got started, what's on offer at participating stores across the city, and important questions like how they came to love reading. Plus, are bookstores haunted? Tune into this fun conversation and find out, and then join book lovers from all over Philadelphia on Saturday, August 24.
