Who are Cam and Ru?
Hello from Cam and Ru! We’re a son and mom duo that happen to be very different people but both love reading. We started this podcast book club because we believe stories give people opportunities to discuss the things they normally don’t – like gender, racial, and economic issues.
What do we discuss in this podcast book club?
We enjoy talking to each other about the books we read, and we often discuss how their plots relate to our own lives (e.g. Emma Donoghue’s ‘The Pull of the Stars’ episode). But we also discuss the characters and themes within each book, as well as the author’s overall writing style.
How often do we record podcast episodes?
We record a new podcast episode each month. We kick off each episode by sharing the next month’s book club read, so you can read along with us if you like! Check out our full podcast reading schedule below, or send us a message to suggest a new read.
Do we take book club reading suggestions?
Yes! We would love to hear what books you’re interested in reading along with us. Send us your recommended reads here.
