“I LOVE this deep-dive podcast into the His Dark Materials Trilogy (so far! Hoping they’ll do Book of Dust....) Both Iain and Amy have read the books previously but are EXCELLENT for protecting 1st time readers from spoilers. Well, at least I think so but I’ve listened to the trilogy multiple...”Read full review »

“Iain hates Serafina in the show because of her “angry” (aka anti-feminine haircut)... someone educate this man, please.”

“I started listening to HDM podcasts after the first series concluded to try to make sense of it all - both the series and the books and where they overlap or diverge - and I truly love this one. There’s an infinite number of ways you can interpret the events of HDM and I appreciate their...”Read full review »

“As a big fan of HDM, it’s great to settle back and listen to two fans delve into Pullman’s world in a relaxed fun and excited way. Great social media and bonus content as well.”

“Oh come on, E2 HDM tv is full of smug spoilers. I’ve read all the books but have limited recall. This episode is spoiler after spoiler. There’s little to be surprised about for the rest of the tv series.
I’m going to unsubscribe have previously enjoyed, but this has an over confident almost...”Read full review »

“Really enjoying catching up with the read through episodes, which explore the text in depth and add details of geography, history and science into their analysis of the text.”

“I’m a huge HDM fan and this is the best podcast I’ve ever come across. I love Iain and Amy and especially appreciate all of the research and background about how Lyra’s world is different than ours that’s based in actual history. It’s an awesome listen, and I so hope they make it all the way...”Read full review »

“I’m probably not the intended demographic, I read the books with my kids who are about the same age as Iain and Amy, but I’m really enjoying it.
Binged the first 15 now waiting impatiently for the next episodes to drop.
Iain and Amy are smart, informative and always funny presenters and great...”Read full review »

“I’ve tried several HDM podcast and this is by far the best one. Hosts Iain and Amy share their love and enthusiasm for the source material and dissect both the book and the HBO show. They geek out on etymology and geography, express their opinions but also bring insights that truly add to the...”Read full review »
