“I only stumbled across this show a few weeks ago but it is now a must-listen podcast for me, along with the NY Times Book Review (mostly new fiction and non-fiction) and BBC’s A Good Read (Books and Authors, mostly fiction). The episodes I have heard so far discuss books from around the world rather than being unduly parochial. I like the guest reviewers and especially that Kate and Cassie do not shy away from (polite) negative reviews.
One of the most valuable aspects of a book review for me is an indication that I should probably not spend my time on a particular book. There is enough over-praising of books already; this show strikes me as very impartial. Oh, and Kate has one of the most mellifluous voices you could hope to hear.”
