Killing Time Episode 88 - Nathan Shuherk AKA SchizophrenicReads

 For today’s episode of Killing Time with Arch I’m excited to get to talk to Nathan Shuherk, who goes by @SchizophrenicReads on TikTok. Nathan is a popular book tok creator with over 60,000 followers who reads a ton of books and does an amazing job reviewing them.
