“I listen to several podcasts but this is one of only two or three that I actually look forward to. I always come away with a better appreciation of an author or a new title (or more) to check out.
Keep up the great work!”

“I think the Book Cougars read such a wonderful and wide ranging selection of books. I get lots of excellent recommendations even though I don’t read tear jerker novels or hard books, there’s still so much to hear about. Of course, I am a huge Louise Penney fan, I think I heard about her first,...”Read full review »

My mother named me Jo after Jo in Little Women way back in 1958. I suppose that set me up to be an...”Read full review »

“I like this podcast. The sound quality is good. These two ladies are fun without being silly, and sophisticated without being stuffy. I've sent a good many other podcasts packing because of annoying behavior that gets in the way of enjoyment. None of that here. Keep up the good work ladies!”Read full review »
