Hosted by Book Shop of Beverly Farms owners and siblings Hannah Harlow and Sam Pfeifle, "Four Books a Fortnight" is a podcast where we read four books every two weeks and tell you what we thought. Don't worry, it's not one of those podcasts where everyone loves everything and you feel like you're listening to a couple of salespeople. But we're not mean, either. Mostly not. We even rate each book with a sound effect. It's fun!

Live from the Book Shop: John Updike’s Ghost is a biweekly podcast, first launched in fall 2021, about books, reading, and bookselling. The show is hosted by siblings and owners of the Book Shop of Beverly Farms, Hannah Harlow and Sam Pfeifle. Each epsiode they ask each other: what are you reading? Hannah’s taste leans toward the newest literary and upmarket fiction and memoir, with a few mysteries and fantasies thrown in. Sam’s taste roams more freely through time, covering backlist and frontlist. He loves a good music biography, as well as fiction of all stripes - the weirder the better.

John Updike was a longtime resident of Beverly Farms and is considered the patron saint of the Book Shop, in addition to haunting this lively and entertaining podcast. 

“There’s enthusiasm, big opinions, easy brother-sister banter, and listeners get a sense not just what they might read next, but what it is to run a bookstore.” —Boston Globe
