Books for Men
Hi, I’m Doug. I’m a man who reads (quite a bit.) Books for Men is a podcast to inspire (more) men to read and bring together men who do. Whether you like fiction, nonfiction, literary, commercial, self-help, memoir, whatever—I got something for you. Newbie or vet, man or woman, doesn't matter. I read enough to make this show relevant for you. Visit BooksforMen.org to sign up for The Books for Men Newsletter, a monthly round-up of all the books and authors featured on the podcast. *This podcast was formerly known as It’s Not What It Seems, an interview show featuring conversations with thought-leading nonfiction authors and an audio diary for Douglas Vigliotti. It was rebranded as of July 25, 2022.
