“I absolutely love this podcast. I stumbled upon it when I was reading Stormlight Archive and I’ve yet to find a podcast that covers fantasy books so throughly with humor and insight. The structure of a first time reader coupled with an experienced reader is great without spoiling future chapters...”Read full review »

“I’m a busy parent and I don’t always have the time that I used to to really dig into fantasy novels, especially ones that take a lot of initial investment in the world building, understanding the magic systems, etc. I find this podcast so helpful I was just a basic recap of what happened....”Read full review »

“I started listening while rereading the Stormlight Archive. This podcast is at its best when they are on track and analyzing the book. They are thorough and thoughtful. It looses me with the longest most juvenile jokes. I don’t need to hear a million dumb jokes that get drawn out endlessly. It...”Read full review »

I love the set-up... two funny and intelligent book lovers discussing some really great literature. The wife of the duo has read everything but doesn’t spoil it. God bless her restraint. I read along with the husband as a first time reader....”Read full review »

I never laughed while reading, but I...”Read full review »
