Did anyone tell you watching historical drama increases your book reading?
That's what happened for us when we launched Historical Drama with The Boston Sisters®. Between research for a podcast conversation and historical drama adaptations, our book reading has doubled, even tripled.
That's why we launched an annual "Page to Screen" podcast where we recommend 5 books we've read to produce the podcast. The 2025 Page to Screen episode (Ep. 73) spotlights 5 books from the Historical Drama with The Boston Sisters's 4th season. Three authors* were featured on the podcast. We even included a play🎭:
The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen* (2015) | Ep. 58
The Piano Lesson by August Wilson (1986) | Ep. 62
Shirley Chisholm In Her Own Words: Speeches and Writings by Zinga A. Fraser, PhD* (2024) | Ep. 59
Call The Midwife by Jennifer Worth (2002) | Ep. 70
Miss Austen by Gill Hornby* (2020) | Ep. 71
All the books are available on in our affiliate bookstore (bookshop[dot]org).
Download the podcast (Apple, Spotify, YouTube), watch the historical drama, read the book...in no special order.
We've got you covered from page to screen!
