The New York Times Made His Reading Parties Explode
Manage episode 475893593 series 3651972
Four friends in their 20s realized none of them were reading books like they used to.
So, Ben Bradbury hosted a casual gathering on their rooftop, invited some friends, put together a playlist, and everyone just... read books together. Then they chatted about what they were reading before calling it a night.
But it caught on. Ben and three of his friends formalized things a bit, named it “Reading Rhythms,” planned more get-togethers, expanded their invite list, and started sharing it on Instagram.
As these reading parties continued, they garnered attention in places like the New York Times, and this hobby quickly became a worldwide business.
In this episode, Ben walks us through what a reading party is and how you can bring one to your city.
