“As a lover of books, I enjoy listening to this and appreciate Derek's insight and perspective (although I sometimes find his views problematic). I like Rai but she comes across as immature/childish with not well thought-out views (time and experience will likely change this). Alex sounds...”Read full review »

“I've always loved reading all types of literature but for some reason it took a backseat. Listening to the podcast has really brought back that love of literature, the discourse between the three of you is so intellectually intriguing. I have been exposed to perspectives that I would have...”Read full review »

“I'm binge listening to this show at work and it has got me back into reading after graduating. I have finally pulled all those books out from under my bed. A few pages into Americana and I have no regrets. Thank you.”Read full review »

“As a black American, this podcast connects to me in so many ways and challenges me in others. Every episode has me thinking differently about a book, movie, or idea, and it is chock-full of books to put on my reading list. I do wish the episodes were a little shorter, but the high quality content...”Read full review »

“I love listening to Rai, Alex and Derek talk about "classical" literature and modern lit too. They discuss topics that are entertaining and thought provoking. The best part is listening to Rai get Derek in check consistently! Hilarious.”Read full review »

“I love you guys, mostly Alex and Rai but I'm getting used to Derek now too. I love when you stick to literature and other related stuff, sometimes you tend to really go off the subject and it's really not 'mostly lit'. But great nonetheless and as an avid podcast listener, I love...”Read full review »

“This is a good podcast and Alex and Rai are excellent! Derek just seems to trot out the old rehearsed arguments and positions of the coloniser/ white men. It has become quite boring now as these discourses exist in most other podcasts and are nothing new, in fact they are pretty offensive and...”Read full review »
