Eddy Hood is the host and founder of The Read Well Podcast, a weekly show dedicated to the art of slow, careful reading and meaningful note-taking. He is a student of philosophy, the owner of Edgewater Bookstore, and is slowly working on his first novel. Hood launched the podcast to help fellow readers tackle challenging books with confidence, build lasting reading habits, and apply literary insights to their daily lives. He explores wide-ranging subjects with a philosophical lens, from classic literature to Stoicism to Ralph Waldo Emerson, and hosts reading challenges for community members. His approach emphasizes depth over speed, encouraging readers to sit with ideas and let them genuinely change the way they think.
