Show Notes

Today I’m in Austin, Texas, speaking with Charley Rejsek, general manager at BookPeople. Charley and I chat about the future of indie bookshops, and what a day in her life as an indie bookshop general manager looks like, and about the phrase Keep Austin Weird. 

My guest author is Jo Ivester, who focuses on LGBTQ and civil rights advocacy. Her books include the memoir The Outskirts of Hope and her family memoir Once a Girl, Always a Boy.
