Amanda and Jenn are two of my favorite podcasters to listen to. The show is one of the few Bookstagram outgrowths that doesn’t completely suffer gatekeeping, publisher influence, and advertiser creepiness. The format invites readers to make requests that range from basic reluctant reader needs to ultra specific or otherworldly. Amanda and Jenn dig deep and reach wide to find books to fill that need. They are transparent with recommendations and confide how a work is effective, where it might fall off or when they had to outsource a title or genre. Recommendations range and no genre, author, issue or theme is excluded on this show. Democracy resonates and it keeps me looking for the next show in my podcast library. In terms of show hosts, they have so much energy, meaningful banter, stimulating introspection, candor galore and they are people you’d have on your dinner party list or any get together that sparks exchange. Shows are themed loosely and mostly driven by listener inquiry. I’ve had two of mine make it to the show and their recommendations were expansive and interestingly relevant for my gift recipients. I’m not a fan of the vitamin sponsors... I’ve had some bad reactions to them and am not sure that readers know how to fully vet ingredients or nutritional needs without FDA or verifying agency. Perhaps going forward they’ll gain other less questionable advertisers. Overall, it’s an outstanding show and the hosts are at the center of quality with their program. Wish there was more programming this good!

Because of this podcast. :) The reviews make so many books sound amazing that I am considering reading genres that I never thought I would be interested in. I feel like it's a bookish get-together when I listen. The girls are charming, funny and people that I would love to be friends with...Read full review »

Until the last episode I heard, I enjoyed the podcast. I listened to the broadcast after the election and it was a mood like I felt after 9/11. It would have been understandable if it were just the mood but there were really insulting comments reguarding any but their view points, I know they...Read full review »
