The script
(Intro)If there's a book on your nightstand with a receipt still marking page forty, you're in the right place. Welcome to Dog-Eared, the book club for people who mean to finish. I'm [Host Name].
This month we're reading [Book Title], and today we're covering chapters one through six. Spoilers start after the chime. If you're not there yet, pause now. I'll wait.
(Outro)That's where we'll stop for today. For next time, read through chapter twelve, and keep a pencil handy. You'll want to underline something. Send me your theories, the wilder the better. I'm [Host Name]. Keep reading, and don't fold the corners. Okay, fold the corners.

Coaching notes
- 'a receipt still marking page forty' is the relatable joke. Say it with a knowing smile, like you're describing your own nightstand.
- After 'pause now. I'll wait.' take a real pause. Count two silent beats before you move on so the joke has room to breathe.
- 'don't fold the corners. Okay, fold the corners.' is a quick reversal. Say the first part firmly, then crack and give in on the second.
Try it three more ways
- Read it as a strict but lovable school librarian.
- Read it as a host recording in a busy coffee shop who keeps getting distracted.
- Read it as a hushed, late-night book lover reading under the covers with a flashlight.
