The booksbrewsdogs’s Podcast
Books Brews & Dogs is a small one woman (with the occasional help of a husband) business. We are community focused. I truly believe that in supporting each other we will all be able to succeed. We have 3 segments that will cycle through. 1. Author Spotlight- This is where we interview indie authors about up coming release, their writing process and whatever else comes up in conversation 2. Animal Rescue-/ Small Business This segment discusses what is happening in the animal rescue world, Shelters vs rescue, why fostering helps, how shelters and rescues work together and so much more. 3. Tea Time- This segment will be a group of readers and / or other small business owners getting together and discussing the books they love, the book world on social media or whatever our hearts desire. I am mostly awkward when I know I am being recorded so there is little to no editing done and I do my best just to have lots of fun and great conversation.
