“Alysia must have self-control stronger than the Sword of the Rivan King. She is the podcaster who is reading the series for the first time while Sondra - veterans of the 80's sitcom The Cosby Show have no problem distinguishing her name from 'Sandra'! - has read it multiple times over the years. How Alysia resists the urge to charge forward, I'll never know.
For it is the eagerness to read ahead that makes the Belgariad so great. It's a travelogue through the world he created, with new places and faces emerging as you go along, in the company of familiar faces giving you the benefit of their wit and wisdom along the way.

And if you want to skip to the book discussion, each episode has time stamps in the show notes. So if you're a fan of the books, and why would you be searching for the Belgariad if you were not, there's no excuse for not joining them in their journey through Eddings's world.”Read full review »

The additional wisdom and insight these ladies...”Read full review »

“I quite enjoy hearing the discussion about the Belgariad. The contrast between an Eddings’ veteran and a newcomer to his works is interesting. I look forward to more episodes.”
