Trailer - The Expanse Book Club 08/27/2022

Trailer - The Expanse Book Club The Expanse Book Club is a podcast for those who have read or are reading the Expanse novels by James S.A. Corey. Each episode will cover 8-10 chapters or about 1/5 of a book. Though each episode will begin with a brief summary of what has happened, much of the focus will be on breaking down the fascinating detail in these books. Everything ranging from how different economies work to what technology has changed. From the role in society of religion and culture to crime, patriotism, and social norms. So, I hope that you’ll subscribe to the Expanse Book Club wherever you listen to podcasts and follow along as we go through each novel and short story in the series. Together, we will leave no stone unturned as we analyze these works and - I hope - discover even more of the authors’ genius and detail than we might have found on our own. /episode/index/show/d184c08f-57f5-4e49-8773-bba9b0b272f8/id/24180639
