The Page 1 Challenge is a short-form podcast for book lovers.
Ya know, research shows that people usually choose books based on factors such as author reputation, recommendations from friends, book reviews, and, embarrassingly, even based on a book’s cover art.
But The Page 1 Challenge turns all that upside down. In each episode we select a book and read Page 1 to you. We don’t tell you upfront who the author is or what the title is. And of course, you can’t see the cover art.
Can Page 1, on its own, be captivating enough to make you want to read the book? That’s the challenge!
Oh, and don’t worry, we do identify the book at the end of each episode.
So, is it fair to judge a book only by its first page? Oh, heck no! But it is fun, and is a nice change form the usual book review and author interview shows. And who knows - you might discover the start of some wonderful stories here.
These podcasts are short – each episode is less than 5 minutes long. Think of it as a piece of podcast pie, like a dessert after a meal of your favorite long-form podcasts. Who doesn’t love dessert?
So, listen to a few episodes, and if you enjoy this unique podcast idea, please subscribe.
