Welcome to Unbound!
A home for readers who love a good book and the conversation after.
Why Unbound
Unbound started with a simple wish. I wanted to call up the writers whose books I couldn't stop thinking about, and talk with them the way friends do when they're both mid-read. That conversation has grown into three places to gather: a podcast every other week, a companion newsletter, and a monthly meetup here in Washington, DC. Wherever you are in your reading life, there's a seat for you.

The Host
Mbiye Kasonga is a podcast producer, writer, and the founder of Unbound: a community for thoughtful readers built around a podcast, a newsletter, and a monthly gathering called Bring Your Own Book. Based in Washington, DC, she hosts conversations with writers about the culture and craft of books, and runs Moyo Media, a podcast production company. Unbound is her childhood wish made real: to call up the authors she loves and talk about their books like friends.
