The Sensible Nonsense Podcast

Remembering the books that taught us who we are. The Sensible Nonsense Project is a collective storytelling project designed to remind ourselves and each other about the legitimate artistry of our best-loved childhood stories — those books so captivating that you’d cart a picnic basket’s worth of new ones home from the library every week, rereading your favorites until the covers were worn soft. In this union of intelligent reflection and relatable nostalgia, it becomes clear that children’s literature transcends its recommended age limits. This podcast asks its guests: what was your favorite children's book? Why did it resonate with you? And how, if at all, has reading the book influenced the way you approach your adult life? Happy reading!
