Welcome to our Speaking LITerally Podcast page. This podcast was started during Covid in 2021. My co-host, Holly, a bookworm and friend from bookstagram messaged me asking me if I would be interested in hosting a Podcast with her about books. Of course I jumped at the chance and a month later Speaking LITerally was born.
Since then we have been growing the platform with author interviews, guest hosts, seasonal content and so much more!!
This page will be able to give you all the latest news on the podcast as well as links to our podcast. You can listen on any platform you listen to your podcasts on and I have included a few of these below.
