In this episode 67, host Landis Wade reflects on the positive arc of the show in the first complete calendar year of Charlotte Readers Podcast and shares exciting news about what’s coming in 2020.
The year 2019 was a year of steady growth for both the podcast and host Landis Wade, a recovering trial lawyer who left the full time practice of law to jump into the world of podcasting with both feet. Landis is grateful for the sponsors, authors, listeners, advisers and supporters who kept him on the right track and for all that he has learned in the last year.

Under the Covers Episodes
Because there are too many engaging local and regional authors and not enough room for them on the existing podcast, Charlotte Readers Podcast will provide even more author content in 2020 with a new show entitled the “Under the Covers” episode of Charlotte Readers Podcast.
Each Under the Covers episode will release on Fridays, beginning January 10th. They will be much like the existing show, only shorter, around twenty minutes in length. The authors will discuss their books, read from them and discuss their writing lives.
The first four Under the Covers episodes are:
Jan. 10 Under the Covers with Fabi Preslar
Jan. 17 Under the Covers with Dennis Carrigan
Jan. 24 Under the Covers with Jenifer Ruff
Jan. 31 Under the Covers with Sandy Hill
