What inspired you to make this project?:
I was at the LA Times Festival of Books when I hosted the afternoon talk show on KPCC. Folks would come up to say nice things and dragged their kids along with them. The kids said they listened to the show, too...because they were trapped in mom's carpool. I asked them what they'd be interested in and they said books. So once a month, we threw the adults out of the studio and let the kids be the stars. When I left reporting on public radio, I asked myself what I loved best: talking to kids about books won hands down. So I started the podcast.
