Terrible
I’m a veteran public school teacher. David is the worst! He’s pretentious and shouldn’t be! He’s constantly interrupting or throwing in his amateur (and cringe worthy)comments. What should be fun “drafts” are as entertaining as listening to that really small group of middle school boys who are so incredibly nerdy that they turn the inconsequential into the inane all the while believing they are of superior intellect. That’s David. The middle school boy. How one Tim or Heidi is even a friend of his and obligingly agreed to appear on this podcast is a mystery. However, the fact that they continue to engage in his juvenile folly causes me to question each of their credentials to inform readers. I can’t take any one of them seriously. I wish I could. Tim and Heidi are, at least, likable and could possibly create a worthy literary podcast. Just a few podcasters providing quality literary analysis for real, live grownups include Angelina and Cindy on The Literary Life and Karen Swallow Prior. If you enjoy David on this podcast, stop for some honest self-reflection. Your coworkers, your family, your grocery store clerk, your vet, will thank you.

I have listened to and read along with every episode since the beginning (not always in a timely manner, but reading none-the-less). One of my very favorite podcasts. I've loved the books and feel like I'm sitting down with good friends to chat about them.Read full review »
