Our Story

Where Literature Meets Conversation

Books and Bourbon began with a simple idea: bring readers closer to the authors they love through intimate, thoughtful conversations.

Our Mission

In an age of endless content, we believe in the power of deep, meaningful conversations about literature. Our mission is to create a space where authors can share not just their work, but their creative process, inspirations, and the stories behind the stories.

Every episode is a carefully curated experience, designed to give our audience insights they cannot find anywhere else. We pair each discussion with a carefully selected bourbon, creating an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication.

Whether you're a dedicated bibliophile or simply curious about the world of books, Books and Bourbon offers a unique window into the minds of today's most compelling writers.
