I’m Laura Yamin — a well-read, genre-fluid, elder-millennial podcaster who has spent the last eight years helping readers find books they’ll actually finish. I started What to Read Next in 2017 because I wanted a place where book lovers could discover their next read without the typical gatekeeping, pressure, or genre snobbery. Since then, the show has grown into 800+ episodes, 500+ author interviews, and a cozy, multi-genre community of readers who love literary fiction and monster romances, cozy mysteries and mafia love stories, spicy holiday rom-coms and millennial thrillers. My reading identity refuses to live on one shelf — and I love empowering listeners to feel the same way.
