Hi, and welcome to an audio edition of Downtime! These audio chats are exclusively for paid subscribers—would love to know what you think.

In today’s audio edition, I chat with Thao Thai, author of our summer book club pick: Banyan Moon. As our recent book club discussion thread shows, there’s a lot to get into! Think: Thao’s research and writing process, how her personal experiences informed the book, and even a bonus chapter by Thao explaining how the Banyan House came to be. Today we explore it all, and I hope you’ll enjoy!
