Shortlisted as a top book podcast by Book Riot, She Reads, and Oprah Magazine, among others, Books and Boba is resonating with bibliophiles. Launched in 2016, the podcast acts as a virtual book club, "spotlighting books written by authors of Asian descent." Podcast producer Marvin Yueh and writer Reera Yoo co-host the show, which covers a little bit of everything: news, reviews, and interviews. Mirroring a traditional book club, the duo selects a new book to read and discuss each month. These books span a variety of genres, from graphic novels to nonfiction. Recent selections include The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang (Episode 93) and The Map of Salt and Stars by Zeyn Joukhadar (Episode 96). On the Book Picks page, readers can view a mosaic of all the books discussed on the show. Most episodes are under an hour in length, perfect for book lovers to binge while spending some extra time indoors. Readers can find the nearly 100 episodes (as of this write-up) at the link above or tune in on Spotify, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, or Radio Public.
