The Yellow Shelf Story
Johanna Fink founded Yellow Shelf in 2022, after an idea that had been quietly taking shape for more than a decade.
Like many curious readers and listeners, Johanna found herself constantly referred too many books and overwhelmed by endless podcast recommendations.
The question was ... what should I choose next?
Yellow Shelf was created to solve that problem.
Through short, authentic interviews with global authors and podcast hosts,
Yellow Shelf helps the audience quickly connect with the voice behind the work, making it easier to decide what to read or listen to next, without the overwhelm.
