Wish It Was True

Hosted by Emily Wilkins, The Evaluation: The New Age Book Club is a quiet corner for those who find solace and stimulation in the pages of a good book. It springs from a simple, shared reality: while our lives are increasingly digital and dispersed, the hunger for thoughtful discussion about stories remains. This podcast offers that connection, a virtual meeting place where the conversation picks up right where the last chapter ended. You'll hear deep dives into all kinds of literature, with the format adapting to the book itself-some titles are explored in a single, rich conversation, while others unfold over several episodes, allowing for a more leisurely and thorough examination. The heart of the show is in its dialogue, mirroring the best parts of an in-person book club with its tangents, disagreements, and moments of shared revelation. It’s a space that celebrates reading not as a solitary task, but as a starting point for community. Tune in to find your next favorite read or to reconsider an old classic through a fresh lens. Every episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and join a conversation that has been happening for as long as people have been telling stories.
