“John J. Miller is the best interviewer I’ve ever encountered as I’ve enjoyed this podcast over the years. His expertise is on display as invariably his guests will assert, “That’s a great question!” And his great questions lead to great insights regarding current books and authors. Thank you.”

“I’ve been listening every week for about three years, and I just learned how to leave a review!
JJ selection of books and delightful interviews are always interesting. Also consider his other podcast “Great Books” a longer podcast of many of those classics we should never forget! Thank you for...”Read full review »

“John J. Miller is a great interviewer and uses this podcast to review new book releases. His recent 12-minute interview of Russ Roberts about his book Wild Problems is a good example of a concise overview of the book and its purpose that made me want to read it.”

“In your episode descriptions, can’t you give us just a little more information about the book? More than just the title? Sometimes the titles barely hint at the subject of the book.”

“I am also a big fan of Mr. Miller’s Great Books podcast. This is a different approach. Short conversations with authors of recently released books. While there is no way for a busy person to read EVERY book, you’ll find a couple of gems and definitely learn something about a wide range of issues.”

“Why are the interviews only ten minutes? This isn’t radio; it’s a podcast. Podcasts have gained popularity because time constraints were lifted and depth and understanding became the goal.”

“I love that John Miller is able to give a very short introduction to a book I may want to pick up. It’s length makes it accessible in short bursts but gives enough information for me to decide whether or not to add the book to my List.”

“Wonderful podcast focusing on books for the conservative thinker. As a major consumer of books who always looks for quality material to put on the ever-changing and growing reading list, I’m glad this resource finally exists. One suggestion I would make is to include a sentence that states what...”Read full review »

“There are so many so called "book review" podcasts out there. Most of them are people just talking about cleaning desks or other random stuff in life. Nothing wrong with that but WHAT THAT GOT TO DO WITH BOOK REVIEW?? Mr. Miller's program is short, to the point and really about a...”Read full review »

“Listening to the Bookmonger keeps me up to date on new Conservative books by a range of talented authors. Highly recommended as each podcast is typically 15 minutes or less so you can spend more of your time reading (or working). 5/5”

“Wonderful discussion with author David Bahnsen. Will read this book based on the issues surfaced in this podcast. Speaking of the same, John Miller’s two (2) podcasts Great Books and The Bookmonger are consistently superb. I encourage others to give-it-a go.”
