Podcast Overview

Welcome to Red Wine Reads, a community of book lovers talking about our favorite and not-so-favorite books while pouring a glass (or two) of wine. Each week, your host Jenna Weston is joined by a rotating cast of four co-hosts, each with a specific set of reading skills and preferences. From TikTok famous smut, to Pulitzer-Prize winning novels, to the classics you read in high school, we hope you find a little something you like. These reviews are not backed by any educational experience and full of spoilers and hot takes. So here’s what you can expect from each episode: a 60-second summary and some quick facts to get you oriented. Then, we answer the question, “Would you recommend this book?” and we spend the majority of the episode arguing why or why not. We end the show with final ratings and pairings, where we pick drinks, TV Shows, movies and other books to pair with today’s read. Each episode also hosts its own drinking game, so whatever your drink of choice — wine, cocktails, mocktails, coffee, water — we hope you’ll sip along with us. So without further ado, let’s pull some corks and get reading! <br/><br/><a href="https://redwinereads.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast">redwinereads.substack.com</a>
