“After listening to these guys religiously for almost a year, I figured I should leave a review. Book Reviews Kill is one of my favorites. If you’re like books, fantasy, scifi, or even just nerding out, this is the podcast for you. Evan and Chad are so genuine and warm that you’ll feel like you know them in real life, and then instantly regret that you aren’t, in fact, friends with them in real life. They have lots of great segments, like interviews with authors & agents, Friday Forge (where they discuss topics brought up from their discord), and discussion episodes covering the books they planned to read for the podcast.
A quick note on the book discussion episodes: although Chad and Evan are friends, they are different enough as readers that their conversations are interesting. They do a great job of analyzing and critiquing even their favorite reads. They don’t shy away from heavy topics as they arise, but they are also hilarious and joy to listen to. Their discussions are engaging while remaining well-balanced in media literacy, which has unfortunately made it difficult for me to enjoy many other book review podcasts/panels.
Monday Morning Minutes are my favorite episodes, in which they chat about their weeks, the books/ media they consumed, and share fictional fun facts and news. My description doesn’t do this segment justice because it’s their personalities that really bring the episodes to life. They are funny and authentic, and it is easy to see that their great chemistry stems from a true friendship.
All in all, I love book reviews kill, I love the hosts Chad and Evan, and I think readers and fans of SFF should give this podcast a shot. I know everyone’s taste and preferences differ, but I vibe with them, and that’s enough for me. (Thanks for the content guys!)”
