Whether it's seeking out Sasquatch, looking skyward for extraterrestrial life, or probing the power of the atom, exploring the unknown helps us better understand ourselves. Every season, host Laura Krantz tackles a brand new topic, so be sure to start with the first episode for each oneMORE Host Laura Krantz

Daily Book Dose is a passion project, I believe by reading a chapter a day, gathering the thoughts, restructuring them in an easy to understand manner, sharing these lessons and perspective with the universe, will allow us to think more about what we read, and hopefully engage in a conversation with like-minded people from around the world.
