Luke brings his fresh friendship with comedian Nath Valvo out of the jungle and into Good Books studio! Nath reveals the books that help him in his comedy and screenwriting, his childhood reading loves (that might just trigger some nostalgia) and the queer romance novel that he thinks 'walked so things like Heated Rivalry could run.'
They also discuss how personal growth can challenge others, how it's sometimes difficult to say you're good at what you do and Nathan's somewhat controversial take on audiobooks...
