A well-told story can transport you to places you've never been. And if you enjoy books and travel, you will love our podcast Strong Sense of Place. We're Mel and Dave. Every two weeks, we get curious about one destination and discuss five great books that took us there on the page. We start with an overview of what makes that place different than anywhere else on Earth. And then we tackle a round of 'Two Truths and a Lie' to explore stories behind that place. But the heart of the show is our book recommendations. We share why we love each title — with NO SPOILERS. Each episode is a new bookish adventure. Take an imaginary trek with us through Iceland, sip Ouzo in Athens, or virtually ride the rails on an epic train adventure. The Strong Sense of Place show drops every other Monday. On Fridays, we release a mini-episode we call 'The Library of Lost Time.' We tell you about two new books we think belong on your TBR. And we share a Distraction of the Week. That's something reading- or travel-related we think will delight you. Strong Sense of Place was recommended on Book Riot and featured in Apple's Top 10 podcasts for the Arts.
