Kobo in Conversation

In-depth conversations with authors about their books—how and why they write, the books and authors they admire, and so much more. Plus, occasional takes on what's going on in the business of books. And year-end round-ups of reading recommendations from the staff of Rakuten Kobo, the global digital bookseller. Episodes run ~45 minutes. Hosted by Michael Tamblyn and Nathan Maharaj.
