The Grey NATO – 183 – TGN Book Club 2
After a wait of nearly two years, welcome to the second-ever installment of the TGN Book Club! We did the first Book Club episode back in march of 2020 shortly after kicking off the Isolation Tapes series and this week Jason and James are back with six exciting new book recommendations. From far-off exploration to WWII intrigue, post-apocalyptic survival, and an amazing collection of thought-provoking short stories, there’s a little something for just about anyone who loves to read.
Thanks so much for listening and to each and every member of the TGN Supporter Crew! If you’d like to support the show, please click here for more information. Until then, happy reading, we’ll see you all in the comments.

A thousand upvotes for a Discord channel, guys. You have an incredible community already just waiting to gather and interact in one place.
On the "forum", it sounds like fun but I may end up not using it much. Something low-setup/overhead like an invite+only Whatsapp/Signal/discord group makes a lot of sense.
As a general note, I wouldn't push too hard into supporter-only stuff. I pay because I value what you guys already do. The Q&A makes sense, and the forum, but I think you want to be careful about bifurcating the audience into the "in" and "out" group, which would suck. On the flip side, if it's going to bring in a lot of new subs maybe it's worth it, I'm not sure.
