The author, Rejdi Bodlli, underlines that he just loves the diversity of people that helped him to create such an informative podcast. He had an interview with a well-known professor and book translator Ben Andoni who translated many books from Serbian, Bosnian and Croatian languages, so the perspective he offered was very wide and helpful. The second interlocutor was a high school teacher whose passion for books has turned her into everyone’s favorite – Dhurata Sheme a teacher at Charles Telford Ericson for many years now, and lately, she has started applying a new reading method into her classes.
