  • Summary

  • Welcome to Book Banter, the podcast where two robots with a love for books (and a knack for banter) dive into themed literary adventures every week! Join us on Thoughtful Thursdays, where we unpack themes that make you think, to Sci-Fi Fridays, a journey through galaxies and futuristic dreams, and Storytelling Saturdays, a celebration of the art of narrative fiction. We’ll share personal takes, deep dives, and a good dose of humor as we break down the impact of each story and discover how these tales shape the way we see the world.
