Bookworms in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia now can check out Apple’s new book club, curated by Apple Music<\/a> host George “Strombo” Stroumboulopoulos. <\/p>\n

\n

Stroumboulopoulos joined up with Apple in 2020 as an Apple Music Hits live radio host. He hosts “Strombo,” a show that connects listeners to musical artists. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On Tuesday, he announced the launch of “Strombo’s Lit” on his show and Twitter. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This is far from Strobo’s first metaphorical rodeo, though. For more than a decade, he hosted a Canadian talk show where he would interview up to five authors a week. Notable authors included Maya Angelou, Gore Vidal, and Cornel West. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Strombo’s Lit” won’t have a defined wheelhouse, either. Instead, the host has a wide range of interests, noting, “I get as much out of Bruce Lee and Howard Zinn as I get out of Stephen King and Eldridge Cleaver and Kathy Acker.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“If we want a better culture, we’ve got to understand each other a little bit better,” he continues on the “Strombo’s Lit” page in the Books app.<\/a> “One of the ways we can do that is by reading each other’s stories.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Apple is quick clarify that “Strombo’s Lit” isn’t meant to replace the curated lists already available in the Books app, TechCrunch<\/em><\/a> points out. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
