Among Books is a passion project about reading and more. The show brings the spirit of Kouvenda — a Greek word for chat, talk, conversation — front and center. Produced and hosted by Stephanie Marudas of Kouvenda Media and mixed by Brad Linder, Among Books is recorded in-person at the cozy Hilltop Books in Northwest Philadelphia. On each episode, different guests join Stephanie for conversations that unfold from the lighthearted to the profound and everything in between.
