Zibby bought her entire platform and her fame and success with her dad’s cash. Must be so hard being a billionaire’s daughter, coming out of nowhere and doing nothing, and buying your way into the publishing industry. Loser and terrible writer.

Love, love this podcast. Zibby is well read, down to earth and asks thoughtful questions to engage in meaningful conversations. I especially love the variety of books she covers. A must-listen for book lovers!

Zibby brings out the best in every author she interviews. I’ve discovered so many new books and authors by listening to her podcast! I love the 30 minute format - quick enough to listen while taking a walk or out running errands - and keeps the conversation going like a phone call with a friend....Read full review »

Zibby and her guests keep me company every day while I walk. I am constantly being inspired and motivated in my writing endeavors. Thank you Zibby and crew!

I love this podcast! Zibby is wonderful asking author questions. Sometimes she has another guest host on who also does a great job in helping the author share what their book is about. With every episode I learn about authors and the books they write. I learn about interesting books I’d probably...Read full review »

I’ve loved the podcast in the past, but the last two episodes I listened to, Zibby was not listening to the guest, and was just saying “that’s awesome” and moving to the next question.

Love this podcast. Funny, warm, authentic, interesting, eye-opening. I love reading, and getting to know the authors who write them is an added bonus to the experience. Thanks, Zibby!

I listen to mostly book/reading podcasts and this is one of my favourites I don’t necessarily listen to every one - I choose authors I like, topics I’m interested in, books that i’ve heard about and have ‘spoken’ to me. Whichever one it is, I love the variety and Zibby’s enthusiasm. I always...Read full review »

I really like this podcast. Ads.. are a bit much. But I also understand why they are needed. What makes me drop the rating, however, is that it is very apparent when Zibby is not into an author and it seems a bit rude. The authors are taking the time to appear on your podcast and it’s important...Read full review »

I know a huge part of this podcast is about promoting the books and the authors, so it’s been a bit frustrating that for the last few weeks there’s been a pretty consistent delay when the podcast is released in making sure the image of the author and their book is what appears. Most days it’s...Read full review »

Great content but 10 minutes of ads on a 30 minute podcast is too many. First 5 mins are ads with another set mid way thru.

Paul and Sasha from the funny, episodic, serial, comedy podcast “Community News with Paul and Sasha” would be so great to hear on your show. Their podcast is the most fun, funny, and smart serial podcast that each week is like listening to the best audiobook. Their stories are original, funny,...Read full review »

First five minutes were commercials. I get monetizing your podcast, but it’s a no for me…

I adore your new picture! Happy new year.
abcbert via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/01/23
The thing I love most about this podcast is how Zibby asks questions that are on listeners' minds to get under the surface of the book to the stuff that really matters. Insightful and inspring. Great stuff!Read full review »

I read Zibby’s book and started listening to this podcast after. Her guests are great and it’s fun to hear the books from the authors point of view. Keep up the great work!

Love that there are over a thousand episodes to go back through in search of my favourite authors and new ones to discover!

Thank you…. I love your podcast!

I love love love listening to Moms Don’t Have Time To Read Books. Zibby is so lovely and easy to listen to, it’s like listening to a chat between friends. I’ve discovered so many new authors on this pod. My ears are thanking Zibby but my Visa is not!

Great exposure to things I wouldn’t come across. The podcast with Billy Baker was like group therapy for guys. Thanks!
Joethestillman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/19/21
Thanks for this incredible podcast…as a busy mom/therapist/author who loves to read this podcast is such a great resource! 🤍

Discovering this podcast has been the best part of my summer! Zibby is so upbeat, enthusiastic, and has great interviews.
Sue in Canada via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/24/21
I am an avid reader and love hearing from authors, but I am pretty consistently disappointed in the hosts’s delivery in questioning the authors. Particularly the episode with Amanda Kloots, I felt several cringeworthy moments. I wish the questions were prepared or presented more thoroughly.
AmandaFerr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/16/21
My favorite part is when Zibby asks the interviewee advice for listening writers. This part of the show feels like cracking a fortune cookie delivering sweet affirmations that inspire me to keep writing. In the past couple episodes, Zibby has skipped this question. I hope she doesn’t abandon...Read full review »

Zibby & guests always inspire. My only regret is that Zibby would have been sharing these podcasts when my children were young! Even though my babes are long grown, I love these & find so much wisdom in them! Thanks!
tls6280 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/03/21
As a reader and a writer I love this podcast. I’ve received so many great book recommendations, and I love hearing authors talk about their writing advice and journey to publication.
BethShannonWriter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/02/21
This is hands-down my must-listen bookish podcast. Zibby asks authors all the questions I’m dying to ask, and the conversations are always so interesting and inspiring. I get so many great book recommendations from this podcast and love that there’s a new episode every day!
sherri728 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/21
This is one of my favorite podcasts!! I started listening during the pandemic and haven’t stopped. I have discovered so many new authors and books.

I have read the best books based on Zibby’s selections! I have also enjoyed listening to the inside scoop on the latest books!
@bambini.bookworms via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/21/21
Zibby interviews the most interesting of authors and her style is so relaxed and informal, she gets the very best from them. I’d highly recommend this series. There’s a reason why she’s called the Oprah of books!

I am one of the late bloomers to discover Ziggy, and now that I have I am forever changed. Her work is inspiring, her tone is honest and real, and she makes things happen. Quickly. Ziggy doesn’t just talk the talk, she walks the walk. This podcast as well as her platforms and other projects in...Read full review »

Love the off the cuff convos Zibby has with authors about their books and lives. I always feel like I’m eavesdropping on two good friends.
LaurenEdmondson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/21
Engaging, real conversations with authors about interesting books. Love Zibbey’s upbeat, honest fresh approach. How did she find time to read so much?

Absolutely adore this podcast 🤍🤍

Was expecting more frank discussion about family’s role in supporting Republicans and Donald Trump and reconciling this with feminism and motherhood.

Great podcast. Love Zibby. Look forward to this podcast every day She has great authors on her podcast and Zibby is a wonderful interviewer

Nothing I love more than reading a book and diving into the authors mind with Zibby Owen. A whole added dimension to reading. Bravo!!!

Zibby is a gem and I love starting my day with her podcasts. As an author I love hearing about other creators’ journeys! Would recommend 100%!

Zibby is so genuine and her passion for books is infectious. Her podcast is a great way to discover new reads. Thanks Zibby!

I started listening to Zibby after seeing her on CBS Sunday morning. I’m a busy mom of three who works full time and my goal every day is to find time to read my book! I now listen to Zibby every morning while walking my dog. So great to hear from so many authors and introduce me to new books....Read full review »

Over quarantine during Covid-19 pandemic, I got back into reading books thanks to Zibby's Insta Live conversations that I came across. I needed to switch up from the usual non-fiction and business books. Her enthusiasm about how books make us feel, think and engage is contagious. I loved...Read full review »

I am at the stage in life, also with 4 children, where I really don’t have time to sit down and read books. I look forward to the daily podcast!
JesusGuy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/04/20
This podcast has been a lifesaver for me as we all go through this terrible time. I have listened to everyone of your interviews. I cannot wait to start my day with a cup of tea and Mom’s don’t have time to read books. 🙏🏾

Zibby is such a great interviewer! She makes it feel like I’m having a coffee catchup chat with some of my most interesting gal pals!
