Books on the Nightstand

Books on the Nightstand published our final episode in July 2016. This is a place for listeners to find old episodes.

I'm sorry that we don't have show notes for all of the episodes, and that the episodes do not have consistent filenames. Still, we hope you find that the content is valuable enough to overlook those annoyances.

Thank you to all who have listened to BOTNS over the years and for those who are just discovering the podcast.
