This is my favorite podcast--Jon and Mark are engaging, intelligent, casual, cool and, needless to say, very well-read. The big surprise: how funny they are. How often do you get a chance to learn and laugh at the same time?

A clever Canadian combo with a love for reading. My GoodReads TBR is now swollen and bloated from their always awesome recommendations. They push you, the reader, to go beyond your comfort zone and venture into new literary territory. The highlight of the podcasts is how they bashfully admit...Read full review »

Greatest books and film podcast ever. Jon and Mark are sassy, smart, brilliant, funny and incredibly excited about books. My list of books to buy keeps getting bigger with each episode. Absolutely contagious. Borderline addictive. Love them!

The hosts do a terrific job of providing great books, and I love their in-depth exploration of the 'why' they like a book. But, that being said, I actually enjoy the time before they get into the recommended book more. They have great takes on all types of movies, and just their general banter...Read full review »

I´ve been listening to this podcast for quite a while now and I am pretty enthusiastic about it! ;-) Mark and Jon, the two hosts of this show, not only recommend a good book about once a week, they also have fascinating discussions about media-related topics, such as turning books into movies,...Read full review »

Hang out with Mark and Jon. A great podcast where two laid back guys chat about movies, TV, and one book they are enthusiastic about. These guys have a great rapport between them, and they're sure to make you smile. When it gets down to the review, the fellas wax eloquent like noone else. I have...Read full review »

I just wanted to thank the boys for improving the sound quality of the podcast. This is a very good books podcast made better now that i do not have to strain my ears to hear them! I know that it is often difficult to obtain the necessary equipment for a successful podcast. You guys did what you...Read full review »

The enthusiasm of this show's hosts is definitely contagious. The dialogue and good natured chatting about books, movies, culture and the joy of reading (and sharing that joy) is always fun and dynamic. Mark & Jon offer intriguing insights, fascinating commentary and allow this listener the...Read full review »

These guys have fun and provide thoughtful reflections on books they have read. The sound quality can be harsh, but the content makes it worth it. This is my first listen when it drops.

On more than one occasion after listening I HAD to go find the book they were talking about. I look forward to each new episode. The discussions are entertaining, insightful, and engaging. I am a fan!

I really dig this show. It's funny, and it covers a lot of ground. They talk about movies, in addition to books, and they're not afraid of pop culture. They've talked about the Millennium trilogy, the Hunger Games, and others, but they also get enthusiastic about older books you might have...Read full review »

I just discovered enthusiasticast recently, but it's already the podcast I listen to first. These guys have a crazy knowledge of everything -- books, comics, movies, music. More than any human could possibly know. Hmm.....

A terrific podcast where hosts, Mark and John, discuss their latest literary discovery. I particularly enjoy the diverse range of material they suggest; from graphic novels to literature to genre fiction. These guys have great chemistry and its always a pleasure to hear their discussions. Your...Read full review »

Trust Mark and Jon to steer you toward your next favourite book. Always passionate, positive, and of course, enthusiastic.

My favorite book podcast, along with Books on the Nightstand. Mark and Jon have strong, well-informed opinions, broad interests, and a really smart and engaging style. I've listened to most of the archives, and discovered a bunch of new books and authors. Keep up the great work!
astroprof via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/07/10
This podcast (at about 12 episodes in) is sublime. Rarely does one of these two recommend a book in such a manner as to motivate me to add it to my must-read list. They position their endorsements so you know what you're getting and their engaging discussion leads you to think such crazy...Read full review »

I listen to several book podcasts and I can honestly say this is one of the best. As a former teacher, I always tried to have my students understand the connections between the various subjects they were studying. Jon and Mark have a prodigious knowledge of pop culture and no book is ever...Read full review »

For those of you who vaguely remember reading and enjoying it from way back, but haven't read much in a while and would like to, this is a great podcast. Like good friends who know what they're talking about giving you personal recommendations, it cuts through that feeling of "holy crap, there's...Read full review »

I've listened to 4 episodes of Enthusiasticast so far, and I can say without hesitation that I'm a fan. Mark and Jon have a great rapport and some great conversations! I confess that I don't know much about movies or film celebrities, but even without that context I enjoy hearing them discuss...Read full review »
