Their voices are so relaxed and nice to listen to, and the books they discuss are interesting. A real pleasure.

I love this podcast as it gives me great ideas of books to read, films to watch and so on. The hosts are lively and engaging and it is generally interesting.

It’s engaging, thought provoking and honest. Listening to these three talk over each other as they debate and discuss their opinions and experiences of the books they’re reading will just make you want to join in. Keep up the excellence Raifa, Alex and Derek!

The hosts are relatable and their enthusiasm and passion for books is contagious. Each episodes gives me knowledge and insight into books I’ve never heard of let alone read. I was hooked from day one.

I love this podcast and your group dynamic. It feels like I’m hanging out with my friends (I just didn’t get the invite). I’ve bought a few books that have been mentioned and they did not disappoint. I’ve also changed the way I look at reading thanks to this podcast and have diversified my...Read full review »

I love listening to literary podcasts but MostlyLit stands out from the others in that it is fresh, authentic and relevant. They seamlessly fuse discussions of literary works with the everyday experience of young black people in London and each of the three hosts brings something new to the...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to this amazing award winning podcast since the beginning of the year and let me to tell you it’s become part of me and probably many other listeners. I’ve learned so much from them especially with regards to African literature and the culture of young African people. The...Read full review »

I really enjoy listening to Mostly Lit. The conversations are always interesting and the book recommendations are always spot on.

I’m so thankful for having found Mostlylit. I’ve always have been a passionate reader but like most black people, I limited myself to white authors because I just didn’t heard much about black authors and their works. So thank you, Raifa, Alex and Derek for making me aware of the richness of...Read full review »

Mostly Lit is one of the main reasons I started listening to podcasts in the first place. They stay true to their aim to give love to black British authors and literature while still keeping their reading diverse and inclusive, which is what I love most about this podcast. It’s inspired me to pay...Read full review »

I love listening to anyone talk about books but I just can't do it with the dry mouth sounds coming out of the hosts. Drink some water or something please.
JustEmilyC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/18
Woooow, I always pushed off leaving a review because I assumed there already had to be a couple hundred. But not even ten? Mostly Lit crew, get on it! Remind people to leave reviews so I can see you on the front page of the podcast section one day! I’m not really a “Monday sucks” person but I...Read full review »

Derek should seriously consider studying law as he makes excellent points when discussing. I wish Alex were more vocal because it appears he sometimes suppresses his thoughts/points.

Whoever is chewing on the mic needs to stop. It’s rude and annoying. I don’t want to unsubscribe for something that is easily correctable. Cheers.
JOELG37 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/18
Since I started listening to Mostly Lit earlier this year I've been obssessed with it. I quickly went back to listen to all their episodes and eagerly await Monday mornings when they usually upload. It's enriched my love of literature and books and my reading list grows more and more with...Read full review »

Fun and easy to listen to. Opening up listeners ta variety of books.
Chrisposure via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/09/17
Greatly enjoyable and accessible book chat about diverse range of literature. It needs warning though. Too many good books mentioned, significantly impacting my financial affairs.

A lot of talking over one another, not much interesting to say.

Hello! I really love this podcast. Just started listening. The content is great and you make fantastic recommendations for books by people of color. Can you please do something about the sound/volume though? I listen with headphones on my commutes and someone always ends up laughing loudly or...Read full review »

My favourite podcast about books and literature, from three brilliant young Londoners. Mostly Lit stands out as it flouts the notion that young, black people don't or aren't interested in reading. Lots of laughs, a great listen!Read full review »

The three awesome humans making Monday a favourite day of mine with their literacy banter. Rain is the Tanzanian Muslima sister from another mister and Derek needs to build a giant library in Ghana. Well Alex is like the nuturing glue that keeps them together.

Black, British, and about literature. I’m new to being a book word as of this year and this podcast has been exactly what I needed. In an education system where our books, narratives, and opinions are rarely heard let alone prioritised this podcast is doing all of that and more. Black people love...Read full review »
