LeVar Burton hosted Reading Rainbow on American public television from 1983 to 2006, and its "But you don't have to take my word for it" segments, with children reviewing books, sent viewers to libraries for a generation. When the show ended he bought the rights and relaunched it as a digital reading service, backed by a record-breaking 2014 Kickstarter. His podcast LeVar Burton Reads keeps the same idea alive for adults: simply reading good short fiction aloud.
