Interviews are excellent. Starts off with senior leader reading but it’s so much more than that. These short and insightful episodes are packed with gems about leadership and life. A perfect commute or exercise pod to get some diverse knowledge. Keep up the great work!

I feel like I’ve become a better officer listening to the podcast. My favorite part is hearing what everyone’s reading. I wish the show notes had what each person recommended though.

I really like this podcast. Great interviews and the guests are given space to speak. Its not all about the interviewer. I started reading fiction again. I would politely suggest they include the book names recommended by guests in the show notes.

I don’t always agree with what the guests may say but the conversations are incredibly thought provoking and provide a variety of viewpoints that you may not have thought of before. The hosts do a great job moderating. Highly recommend!

“What are you reading?” Is my favorite question of all times.... It tells me so much about the individual and how he/she thinks

What would happen, if when our talented leaders left the service, they did not take their guidance and mentorship with them? What if they left a door open where our future leaders could still learn from them? DOD Reads: What Are You Reading is the venue where future military leaders can be...Read full review »

I am a Navy veteran, and while this is geared more towards active duty personnel, this is a solid, practical podcast for both the civilian and military sectors. The conversations are interesting and engaging, the leadership lessons instructive, and the books referenced so far are definitely worth...Read full review »

General Mattis famously said “thanks to my reading I’ve never been caught flat-footed... it does not give me all the answers but it lights what is often a dark path ahead” The “what are you reading?” podcast starts their interviews with just that question. While talking with these amazing...Read full review »

Podcast couldn’t have came at a better time as I’m trying to build on this craft of reading more as a junior officer. Fantastic job!

This podcast has the rare quality of being both enjoyable to listen to and truly insightful! It’s filled with learnings on effective leadership, and many books to add to your list.

Very impressive podcast and right out of the box! It came across as a warm and collegial conversation, almost as between peers despite LT Phoebe Kotlikoff being in the early years of her naval career and the highly decorated and experienced Admiral Stavridis being much her senior. Can't...Read full review »

Great, simple conversations on the value of reading for military professionals. I enjoy the variety of “applications,” too, on how different leaders have leveraged professional reading to improve their leadership effectiveness. Great series.

This podcast is a great reminder of how personal growth is directly tied to the act of purposeful reading. I have subscribed and can’t wait for the next episode to drop! Must listen for any military leader at any phase of their career.
