In this maiden voyage episode of The Bookshop Podcast, I asked Matt Henriksen, Bart’s general manager, to share the history of this famous bookstore, which takes us from Paris after WW2 to a cottage in Ojai, California, a 17th-century copy of Chaucer, and a bunch of Gustaf Duray books from the 19th century.
Dan Malloy is an author, adventurer, filmmaker, and surfer, and synonymous with Ventura County. While well known in the surfing scene, I chat with him about Slow is Fast, a book he wrote with Kanoa Zimmerman and Kellen Keene. The book came about after the three friends took a 50-day, seven-hundred-mile bike ride down the Californian coast. Dan speaks about his life on the road as a surfing professional and how a magazine he picked up in an airport shop helped change his life direction.
