“I’ve been disenchanted with a lot of BookTok discourse and have been listening to more podcasts to get recommendations and hear thoughts on good books. This is exactly what I was looking for!”

“I was looking for commentary on The First Law trilogy, found Charles and Dylan and I’m so happy I did. I haven’t been able to convince any of my friends to jump on the fantasy train with me, so being able to listen to these discussions about the books/series I love is so valuable to me. Thank you...”Read full review »

“Behind their charming, yet slightly awkward style sits two sharp critical minds who take on all the fantasy greats. Come for the analysis, stay for the the meandering jokes that are as fun as a side quest to the Wyld.
You shouldn’t be afraid to listen to this podcast, after all once you’ve got...”Read full review »

“I discovered Fantasy with Friends by watching a First Law video on the Brothers Gywnne booktube channel. Looking at all the subjects these guys already have discussed makes me so happy, all my favorites. I listened to the Witcher short story tier list and agreed with all their opinions. I look...”Read full review »

“This is a great podcast. The 2 hosts clearly are good friends, and that comes through in the ease of their conversations. Yet, they also do the hard work of planning out their conversations, and they always have interesting takes about the books they cover, backed up with evidence and examples....”Read full review »

“I love listening to these guys chat about books they love that I’ve also read. It’s very clear they’re passionate about SFF and I love their personal takes. I also really appreciate their spoiler free review and recommendation episodes, I keep adding more books and series to my TBR lol. I don’t...”Read full review »

“I really wanted a nice fantasy book focused pod cast. However I couldn’t stand how slow the conversations happen. They will dance around topics for minutes at a time to pad air time. I had the speed at 2x and it was still taking forever to get to the meat of episodes and or topics.
I’d pass...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast. It’s a gentle and smart look at really great fantasy. I’m not a huge fantasy reader but becoming more so because Joe Abercrombie rules. These guys help me see the themes more clearly and remember some of the complications. And the hosts are good people. Definitely recommend.”

“Pretty good podcast could use work on the sound. I could do without sounds of people doing things in the background & sometimes one of the host’s microphone squeaks when he says his S’s. Other than that it’s fun.”

“I wish my friends were into all-things fantasy like these two, but Dylan and Charles have helped to fill that void in my life! I’ve especially enjoyed their Wheel of Time content since I’m roughly in the same place on my own journey, but their episodes on Mark Lawrence, Brandon Sanderson, and...”Read full review »

“This Podcast is well hosted by Charles and Dylan, a charismatic duo. It’s pleasant to listen to and also cures a hungover. Recently, I had a piercing headache after a night that started with an Edward Forty-Hands of malt liquor. I was drywalling the back of my toilet with a tar-black muddy paste...”Read full review »

“FTF is like hanging out with two of your best friends and talking about your favorite books. Only, you don't need to have your best friend there, or even to have read the book, really. Consistently my favorite podcasts are ones where the hosts have rapport (I'm thinking of Lords of...”Read full review »
