From Cam Elliott

During the pandemic, I began working on my first podcast in 2021 – Cam and Ru Start a Book Club. In short, I discuss a different book in each episode with my mom, Ru.

We created the podcast for two reasons: 1) to spend more time together (particularly doing something we both enjoy immensely, reading), and 2) to help me develop professional as a creative marketer.

And I’m eternally grateful to my mom for letting me record our conversations for public consumption while also bearing with me as I’ve learned how to produce, record, edit, and publish podcast episodes.

The journey hasn’t been entirely smooth, but I am a dedicated student that enjoys a challenge.

We typically update a new episode each month, and we host the schedule of books here on my website!
