The Stories That Build Us

Gabrielle Troutman hosts and interviews people on stories. Particularly, the stories that make them who they are today. Through all the mediums a story can be found —whether bound in a book, overheard in a coffeeshop, scrolling or swiping through on the internet, experienced, or even passed down and told — stories matter. These stories are integral to who we are — the ones we hear, the one we tell, and the ones we keep close to our heart. Troutman interviews anyone from authors, cosplay personas, BookTubers and BookTokers, to a strangers in different locations. All interview-based episodes are sure to be diverse and insightful to all, whether book fanatics or not. You’re sure to find more than a few good book recommendations. Join the community and keep your stories close, they build you.
