Feelings of Warmth and Frustration
You can easily tell that Ariel and Raeleen are real friends. And from that friendship a lot of joy and warmth radiates through the podcast which is a worthy feat to accomplish. Their banter and comfortability comes through and it really feels like fondly sitting with friends and discussing books. I also love the format of the show with its different sections. I think we get a wide variety of books since they make the distinctive categories. The recommendations they get are super fun too. One big pet peeve though is that there are a lot of interruptions and butting in mid sentence by Ariel. She speaks with a lot of enthusiasm but that excitement is often at the expense of Raeleens words and perspective. It happens constantly, without a doubt in every episode. Sometimes she pauses and acknowledges it and apologize before continuing with her thoughts regardless, other times it feels like releasing her words into life is her only mission. I just finished the episode where they have Caz on as a guest, and she gets interrupted all the same. The point of having a guest is to include a different (their unique) perspective, not have half finished words quelled by one of the hosts. A frustrating feeling for a listener.

I’m so ashamed to admit that I haven’t listened to a podcast until this morning. Omg, these two are sure entertaining and I even want to go for a walk in the bleeping rain now! You encourage me to get out there no matter what. And about the upcoming wedding, I am so proud to be mom of the Bride!...Read full review »

Once Raeleen and Ariel start talking about books, mashed potatoes and everything in-between, I start to switch off and simply enjoy listening to their banter and book advice. My favourite podcast to listen to on a Sunday walk! 💯
