THE Paperback HOUR

One book, one hour, one honest opinion.

Starting soon

A book show with a wide open door.

Manga and graphic novels, romance, sci-fi, psychological thrillers, the occasional tearjerker, and non-fiction that makes you think hard without tipping into an existential crisis.

Every episode digs into one read — what worked, what didn’t, and why it stuck — and where possible, the author joins to talk about how it came together. Spoilers always flagged.
