Broad Street Review, The Podcast

The Philadelphia Bookstore Crawl is an annual event that brings together book lovers and supports independent bookstores in the city.

The guests discuss the upcoming Philadelphia Bookstore Crawl and the special events and discounts that will be available. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of supporting independent bookstores and the role they play in fostering a love of reading and building community.
