From there we drift off to talk about a range of things, including a million dollar idea to develop a Spotify for books . . . (If you want to invest in this, just give me a call. Please.)

We also touch on about Dubai’s Dar-El Shams Books opening up a U.S. branch in Boston and the total insanity of doing “market research” for books.

Overall, it’s a pretty solid podcast . . . And if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions for future podcasts, please email me at chad.post[at]rochester.edu.
