LOUDER THAN HUNGER: LIVE w/ John Schu

April 13, 2024 by Travis Jonker   1 comments

Travis: For years Colby and I have wanted school librarian-turned author John Schu on the show. A week ago, the perfect opportunity presented itself when we interviewed John during a stop on his LOUDER THAN HUNGER book tour.

In this episode (recorded in front of an audience at BookBug in Kalamazoo, Michigan), John talks about sharing his harrowing personal story on the page.

We hope you enjoy this epsiode:
