“I think that I’m finally done with this podcast. I absolutely adore both of the hosts, but this is not really a book podcast at this point. I’m sorry to say what everybody is thinking but it’s true!! I have watched both hosts for years but I don’t care that much about their personal lives! I...”Read full review »

“The first word that comes to mind to describe this podcast is delightful. I love that the hosts read whatever they want, not just what’s popular, and their selections are always so surprising and unexpected. They talk about books like passionate English teachers (and this is coming from a...”Read full review »

“Far too much off topic, one sided, conversation. I usually skip the first ten or fifteen minutes before getting to books… Is what I said previously. But the book talk has been squeezed out even more recently. In the last podcast I listened to they didn’t get around to discussing books until 28...”Read full review »

“I adore this podcast because Raeleen’s booktube channel was the original way that I got into book related content online as a young teen about 8 years ago. Right after I found Rae, I found Ariel, and I’ve been watching the videos, following and cheering them both on since then (even though...”Read full review »

“I used to really love this podcast but now I’d say that it’s less about books and more about everything else. They don’t seem to really do recommendations consistently anymore and some weeks there’s no Book News or Book Olds. I love hearing about Ariel and Raeleen’s lives, but I’d say actual...”Read full review »
