Great content but the fake self-conscious laughter grates. It always takes me out when I hear Maris fake laughing at the most innocuous statement.

This is a must-listen for anyone who loves books. Maris brings such depth, warmth, and thoughtfulness to every interview, and it clearly brings such insight and passion out of the guests. In particular, I ended up putting Cleanness at the top of my list after listening to Garth Greenwell’s...Read full review »

There are a lot of excellent literary podcasts out there right now, but The Maris Review is in a class all its own. Maris is a great host and a great interviewer, but her most extraordinary gift is her ability to make a space where her guests can shine. And her guests are amazing!

Maris is an excellent interviewer and this podcast is consistently great. One of the best literary podcasts around. And the recommendations segment is wonderful!

Maris interviews the authors I wish I could talk to and asks them the questions I wish I could ask.

Maris Kreizman is an insightful, compassionate interviewer who always seems to intuit precisely what to ask her guests, and how. She fosters lively, rich conversations, and her sharp literary mind and profound knowledge make her podcast singularly excellent. I’m so impressed by her, and love...Read full review »

Maris comes to each interview well-prepared, having read the works carefully. She is intelligent, curious, and empathetic. Love the authors more after she interviews them!

I look forward to my weekly download of Maris’s smart, funny, and intimate conversations with authors. Love the enthusiasm and knowledge she brings to each interview.

Maris has an uncanny ability to ask writers interesting questions, to get writers to unpack their work in captivating ways, and to stride the line between fangirl and critic. I have learned so much as a writer and as a reader from Maris's podcast. I can't recommend it highly enough.Read full review »

Have long followed Maris on twitter but have been slacking in checking out this podcast. My bad! Maris’ enthusiasm for books is readily apparent and fun to hear.

Maris has truly wonderful taste in books and in guests, and she’s able to get the most interesting people writing in the studio. So the result is informal and funny and entertaining— but always, always really insightful. You’ll feel smarter!
supergrovercleveland via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/07/20
I had high hopes of listening to good conversation and learning about more authors (& their books). Instead, another white woman (women in this episode) trivializing and minimizing anyone who is not white or a woman.🤦‍♀️ If you truly use the word ‘token’ in your life, you’re doing it wrong....Read full review »

Maris makes podcasting look effortless. She is smart, funny, and instantly puts her guests at ease. The podcast is not too long yet always leaves me wanting more.

What a great podcast! Maris Kreizman is an excellent interviewer - she asks the right questions to get her subjects talking...and lets them talk. And when she chimes in she adds to the conversation. Not everyone can do this! It’s s delight to listen to and I hope she continues.

Maybe I should dock a star bc after discovering this podcast my reading list has gotten WAY TOO LONG, HOW WILL I HAVE TIME FOR ALL THE BOOKS????!! 😫😫😫🤯
TheScorwin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/09/19
Maris is known for her candid, intelligent writing and commentary on books and culture and their impact on how we see the world and this podcast allows us that much more of her voice and recommendations. And it’s funny! And it inevitable makes me want to buy the books by the interview subjects....Read full review »

Wonderful and thoughtful interviews with a wide array of fascinating authors! I learn so much from each episode and am so inspired to read more afterwards!

The conversation with Mira Jacob in the first episode was phenomenal and I’ve enjoyed the rest of the show so far as well. Plus the show has some of my favorite theme music of all time.

After following Maris for a while for excellent book recommendations, I was so happy to see she started a podcast. The first episode was a wonderful discussion that led me straight to a bookstore. Looking forward to more authors I may not be aware of yet to expand my library!

Have long enjoyed Maris’s writing and love author conversations. So I was delighted to hear about this show and am already v.into it, particularly the generosity of discussing the author’s influences outside of books eg: passing on info about this incredible NYRB piece on climate I would have...Read full review »
