Robin Kall, host of "Reading with Robin" and "The Cardigan Connection" chats with Meryl Ain

Meryl chats with Robin Kall about her career as a book broadcaster, book influencer and organizer of book events. In a freewheeling conversation, they talk about Long Island, Rhode Island, the trajectory of Robin’s success, and Jewish books and authors. Robin grew up on Long Island, graduated from Binghamton University, and has lived in Rhode Island since she was 22. She is famously known as a “book pusher,” “fairy book mother,” and “all around nice person.” In 2002, after hosting author events and merchandising several local bookstores, Robin founded the highly regarded talk radio show "Reading With Robin," which is now available on podcast. After the passing of her mother Carol in 1997, it became Robin’s mission to educate women on the importance of early detection and advocate for them. In 2009, Robin and her sisters, Laura and Jennifer, established the Love Carol Foundation to honor their mother’s memory and invest in types of projects that were important to her. In 2016, with the assistance of her cohort and daughter Emily, launched the now 2x award-winning The Cardigan Connection (formerly Point Street Reading Series), which brings together people looking for a good story and fun night. Since COVID-19, Robin has shifted her focus to bringing engaging digital content to readers across the nation on social media and Crowdcast.
