Fresh Year, Fresh Reads on Radio Book Club

It’s the first Radio Book Club of the new year! Hosts Andy Nettell and Shari Zollinger from Back of Beyond Books and Jessie Magleby from Grand County Public Library convene around their first reads of 2021; books that embrace people who are different from you, memoirs that are soulful and egoless, and treatises on…fabric. If you love textiles, the smell of cold, or sharp wit, then this episode is for you! Plus, a special remembrance of nature writer Barry Lopez.
