15 Years of Book Riot

SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

From the studio that brought you WandaVision.

Jeff O'Neal (0:02)

I was an Avenger, but I'm not a hero anymore.

SPEAKER_3 (0:07)

On October 14th, the Vision returns for the final chapter of the groundbreaking trilogy.

Jeff O'Neal (0:12)

That family wasn't real.

Rebecca Schinsky (0:13)

You sure about that?

SPEAKER_3 (0:14)

I had a father called Vision.

SPEAKER_5 (0:15)

How is this possible?

SPEAKER_3 (0:18)

Don't miss the two-episode premiere of Marvel Television's Vision Quest. Nothing bonds a family together quite like mortal jeopardy.

SPEAKER_1 (0:26)

Streaming October 14th.

SPEAKER_3 (0:28)

Only on Disney+.

SPEAKER_1 (0:30)

So, you're not worried about hosting the whole family for the holidays? Why would I be? Wayfair had everything I needed to get the house holiday ready. What if Mike brings his cheerful dogs? My tree has tons of five-star reviews telling me how sturdy it is. But what if everyone's plus one brings a plus one? We'll see how extendable this extendable table really is. And extra chairs are on the way. Okay. What if there's a blizzard and everyone has to sleep over? Ready to go with extra bedding and towels. From guest-ready essentials to holiday decor you can trust, Wayfair delivers.

Jeff O'Neal (1:05)

This is The Book Riot Podcast. I'm Jeff O'Neal.

Rebecca Schinsky (1:07)

And I'm Rebecca Schinsky.

Jeff O'Neal (1:10)

Fifteen years of Book Riot, Rebecca. We are going to talk. We're going to look back a little bit.

Rebecca Schinsky (1:15)

A little bit of reflection.

Jeff O'Neal (1:16)

Looked reflection, some high points. I did a gimmick that I didn't tell you about. And I'm going to throw it on you here in a few minutes.

You have picked out some highlights or memorable moments or trends that we've seen, pieces that we've done, things that we've tried.

Rebecca Schinsky (1:31)

That's not at all what I did, but okay.

Jeff O'Neal (1:33)

I'm kidding. You're going to do what you're going to do.

Before that, we've got some frontispatter to get to. As part of the 15th anniversary, we're doing an All Access membership drive. Would you call it a drive, Rebecca, or a promotion, or what are we doing here?

Rebecca Schinsky (1:46)

Yeah, all of that is fair game. So All Access is our membership platform for bookriot.com. For the website content, just to be clear, it is different from the Patreon specific to the podcast.

Jeff O'Neal (1:57)

Yes, and we know it's annoying. It annoys us too. We hear you.

Rebecca Schinsky (2:00)

We are you.

Right now, it's never the twain shall meet, but someday they will somehow be shared benefits. But with an All Access membership, you get full access to everything on bookriot.com. You're fully behind the paywall. You have access to our new release index, which is a curated platform that lets you track and collect all of the exciting new releases. We are going through the fire hose of Edelweiss so that you don't have to. It is curated. There's a bunch of other interesting stuff. Annual memberships are 15% off through October 25th. And one of the bonus perks is going to be a mailbag recording with me, Jeff, Sharifa, and Vanessa and some of our other senior and longtime Book Riot staff, where we take questions from the entire Book Riot audience about what we're doing here and what we have been doing for the last 15 years. So that will be available to all access members. It is not part of Patreon once again. So you can go to bookriot.com/join to get your all access membership. And again, 15% off of annual. One of the many benefits of that is going to be this exclusive mailbag conversation with all of us. So you'll get to hear from other folks. If you've got questions, you can submit them.

And thank you again for everybody's support. It's wild that we've gotten to do this professionally for 15 15 years and that many of you have been with Book Riot since the very beginning and have been listening to the show since the very beginning, which it's just a mind-blowing and wonderful thing that this is what we get to do.

Jeff O'Neal (3:33)

It is. If we could ask for your support from one other thing. This isn't related to this show, but Zero to Well-Read is up for a couple different awards for The Signal Awards, which is a major podcasting awards body, both for, is it Best New Show and Arts & Culture? We're up for both of those?

Rebecca Schinsky (3:49)

Best New Podcast and Best Arts & Culture.

Jeff O'Neal (3:51)

We'll put a link in the show notes if you have a few minutes there. We will temporarily pause hounding Zero to Well-Read listeners for ratings and reviews to go do this instead. If you're going to go out there and do anything, you might as well do them both at the same time. Yeah.
