On February 7, 2025, we started FRIDAY BOOK DATE: BEHIND THE LINES on our Facebook Page, which will henceforth come to you every other Friday of every month.
It is also available on our YouTube channel.
So far, we’ve had two authors, Maita Rue and Paola Aliedo, host the initial two episodes.
So what makes our Friday Book Date: Behind the Lines different?
Let us count the ways:
Friday Book Date: Behind the Lines is A Unique Literary Podcast
In a sea of book podcasts, Friday Book Date: Behind the Lines aims to stand out with its visually-driven storytelling. This pre-recorded series offers an intimate look into authors’ creative journeys—who have a choice of revealing their faces or not.
A Fresh Approach to Author Interviews
Instead of traditional face-to-face chats, authors share their work through visual storytelling, reading key excerpts while diving into their writing process. This immersive format lets listeners focus entirely on the words and ideas.
Why Faceless Most of the Time?
Most times, our authors choose to host their respective episode faceless. By doing this, Friday Book Date: Behind the Lines shifts attention away from celebrity culture and onto the craft of writing itself. It focuses more on the story, not the storyteller, forming a pure connection with the book itself.
What to Expect in Each Episode
Every other Friday of the month, Friday Book Date: Behind the Lines will deliver:
✔️ Author Readings – Bringing books to life through key passages
✔️ Deep Dives – Exploring themes, inspirations, and creative choices
✔️ Writing Insights – Behind-the-scenes looks at research, storytelling, and character development
Blending Visuals with Literature
Though focused on books, the podcast enhances storytelling with carefully curated visuals, typography, and imagery—creating a rich, multi-sensory experience.
More Than a Podcast—A Literary Community
Through social media and discussions, Friday Book Date: Behind the Lines aims to connect readers and writers, fostering deep conversations about books and creativity.
Shaping the Future of Literary Discussions
This innovative format aims to bridge the gap between traditional literary analysis and modern content consumption. For book lovers and writers alike, Friday Book Date: Behind the Lines offers a fresh, insightful way to experience storytelling.
Tune in every other Friday of the month and see literature in a new light—without the distractions.
For book lovers, writers, and anyone interested in the creative process, Friday Book Date: Behind the Lines offers a fresh perspective on literary exploration. It reminds us that sometimes, removing faces allows us to see more clearly into the heart of a story.
