Longtime Listener Feeling Disappointed

“I've been a podcast listener since inception and, while there have been many changes over the years, the most recent changes are rather irksome. The new host is a little dry and tentative, but I am sure Pamela Paul will feel her way into her role. Sam and Dwight were also awkward early on; they are editors first and podcasters second.
My first complaint is pedantic: The new intro music starts the whole show off on the wrong foot. I love instrumental music, but pretentiousness wafts in with every up-bow undertaken.
My second grievance is more weighted, being of a content based nature: From zero hour this show has mutated into a non-fiction review. Perhaps it is simply coincidence. At first I thought there was simply a slow month in fiction publishing, but it now seems to be a trend. Please return to a balanced approach! It may seem demanding, but, as a voracious reader, I want it all.”Read full review »

“Great podcast. Sometimes I don't have time to read the New York Times Book Review, but now I can listen on the way to work. Have found many new authors through this podcast that I otherwise wouldn't have.”Read full review »

“New contents have not been updating on my iPhone 5/ iOS 6. I have to go on the iTunes Store and manually download/stream an episode every week, defeating the purpose of an subscription. Great podcast though.”
