“Really enjoy this show. John J Miller invites experts to advocate for their Great Book.
He has the extreme talent of being mostly silent to allow his guests to demonstrate their expertise in their field. But his questions have the uncanny ability to reflect what is in the listener’s mind. The...”Read full review »

“Pretty basic interview podcast. I prefer interviews that feel more like a conversation, whereas John J. Miller seems to use the same broad playbook of questions for every episode, and doesn’t necessarily respond to what the guest says.
Also, only the latest 10 episodes are available now? I’m...”Read full review »

“This is a great literature podcast. The host asks great questions and then listens to the guests response like a professional. There is so much packed into bit sized episodes, which are easily digestible. I’m glad my favorite authors, Tim Powers and Gene Wolfe, got some well deserved credit too.”

“The shows consistently have intelligent discussions of quality literature and, for the most part, you can’t tell that it’s sponsored by a right-wing magazine. Except for the ads.

“Enjoyed it. But, big error on Miller’s part. Anglo-Catholics are Anglicans with ‘high’ liturgical practices (and theology) that are similar to Roman practices. The Flytes are Roman Catholics and would only be referred to as such.”
