What is The Side Quest Book Club Podcast?

If you’re a reader looking for something deeper or an indie author working on your book, The Side Quest Book Club is for you. We skip the usual book reviews and ratings. Each episode turns fun side quests into real lessons, so you’ll leave not just entertained, but with a better understanding of why storytelling matters.

Slava: 00:00

Hey.

Jonathan: 00:01

You're everything that's wrong with the world. Now I understand why your mother never loved you.

Slava: 00:05

There it is. Just salt in the wound.

Jonathan: 00:12

So, folks, we're still on a break. We wanted to pop back in and let you know that we are revamping the framework again based on some key feedback we got in the last season. I guess we'll call it seasons. They're long, but I think we can call it seasons because there's a break. But here's what we've done so far.

Jonathan: 00:27

We are working on expanding the website, so there's more to offer you. We are revamping the framework. As I just said, we're moving towards trying to make a video version of the podcast easy and accessible for you. We're looking at whether we can add another segment or sideshow that would be fresh and unique. We've got some strong ideas for that.

Jonathan: 00:48

We just have to figure out how we could fit it into the schedule and how often it would be released and

Slava: 00:53

things like that. I say we just roll the dice

Jonathan: 00:55

on that. Slava's gonna roll the dice. We're also building a guest list to get more guests back. We both have said that we think it'd be fun to have Abby back on for another book. I'm actually reading a book that she suggested during our episode, which is The Book That Never Burns or The City That Never Burns or something like that.

Jonathan: 01:13

I think it's the book that the book that wouldn't burn. All takes place in a a library, an endless library at that, which is really interesting. There's competing story lines and competing characters that eventually coalesce together. I'm not done with it yet. I it is really interesting.

Jonathan: 01:31

It's been well, anyway, I won't even I'm I'm, like, just getting into reviewing the book. So I'll stop there. Slava, anything to add for this announcement?

Slava: 01:40

Yeah. I have one thing to add. I'm really excited about the expansion of the website. We're gonna add a few new pages, suggestion page, and what I'm excited about is a blog like section where we will provide a little bit more details on the books we've read that we've covered, what we enjoyed about them. Maybe, Jonathan, maybe some extra resources that can inspire people to read those books or to do their own deep dives or to start writing their own short stories and novels and all that good stuff.

Slava: 02:15

More interactive and more value add for the audience again.

Jonathan: 02:19

Mhmm.

Slava: 02:19

I'm happy to see that come to fruition.

Jonathan: 02:23

Yeah. Can't wait. But just as a reminder, we will be back early October. Stay tuned. We have more great books to come and hopefully some more behind the scenes stuff.

Jonathan: 02:34

If there's anything that you guys would like to see, drop it in the comments, and we will do our best to fit it in.

Slava: 02:38

See you in October.
