Stunning poetic potential
The first episode of Books and Travel is a veritable poem of experience and meaning. J Penn has a winner on her hands in her solo episodes, where she seams together a narrative of places and memory to shine light, apparently, on what makes her her (and you you, and me me). Mileage may vary for interview episodes depending on the guest. There are two faces to this show so far. On one side, the near-spiritual literary tale of place; on the other, tips on where to find the best Sangria. I hope the former wins over the latter more often than it does in the first 4 episodes. In any event, Penn is a delightful host, always a pleasure to listen to, and longtime fans of The Creative Penn should take pleasure in this more contemplative, meditative presentation. Moments of sheer beauty. Can’t wait for more!

More reviews of Books And Travel
A podcast celebrating the double joy of reading and travel. Jo Frances Penn’s enthusiasm is infectious and her informative interviews explore the less known side of popular areas. I can already feel my Places to Visit list expanding.
