ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Trailer Season 3 - The Future Lab with Lee Schneider

Hi, it’s Lee Schneider, host of the future lab podcast.

In Season 3, The Future Lab goes after the big questions that readers, authors, parents, and educators are asking about reading and young audiences.

Why does reading drop off among nine-year-old kids, and even more when they reach thirteen? Why has screen-based entertainment grabbed so much attention?

Even adults are less likely to pick up a book these days.

In every episode, I’ll seek answers from guests like best-selling authors, librarians , publishers, YouTube and TikTok reviewers, and audiobook producers.

Join me for season three of the future lab. Look for the future lab with Lee Schneider on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or in your favorite podcast app. You can also find the show at thefuturelab.redcupagency.com
