Read

It’s our very first episode of the Two Gomers Podcast with a one-word title, but here’s the really interesting part: it’s about the health benefits of reading books, and books have LOTS of words in them! See? Really interesting! Join us as we talk about our histories of reading, all the ways reading can be healthier than watching TV (even though we love TV and recorded an entire Bonus Disc ep about TV immediately after this one), cognitive reserve, theory of mind, empathy, bibliotherapy, stick-to-it-iveness, focus, and whether you can read while snacking. Also we say teat a lot – but that’s not our fault, it’s Stephen King’s. Happy reading!
