This became one of my favourite podcasts just as they announced it was going on a break! I’m making my way through the back catalogue and enjoying them all so much

Bring Book Club back!

love shameless book club! they always choose really great books and have fun reviews, author chats and literary deep dives! 🤍📖🤍

There are some interesting ideas with this podcast but the execution is really off. Eilish always sounds like she is reading right off a script with the Stranger Than Fiction episodes. The sponsorships that get attached to this podcast (Baileys, olive oil etc) also just seem like odd choices.

I usually love the book club episodes but this one was very poorly done. The hosts really need to read the books if they are going to talk about adaptations and also they don’t seem to take proper notes of the show which results in them reaffirming wrong information (the dog) with each other....Read full review »

I love this idea and some of the podcasts, but for the adaption series so often the hosts haven’t read the book or can’t remember it. I can understand one not having read but when all three have not read the book it means it should just marketed as a TV show review podcast, not a podcast about...Read full review »

I understand one (or two) hosts not having read the book but it is a book club series so I feel that at least part of the review should be about how it stacks up to the book. As this series have gone, how the show stacks up to the book has fallen to the wayside. Doing a plot breakdown and...Read full review »

Agree with some of the other reviews, like the concept and enjoy listening to discussions around books I have read. Also really enjoy the concept of stranger than fiction. However, the delivery is what lets it down; some of the newer hosts are a bit infuriating (feel unprofessional, laughing, not...Read full review »

I really enjoy the Stranger Than Fiction episodes and would love to hear more of these. Just listened to the Crawdads episode and it was fantastic!
Blundrigan via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/17/24
I’m a huge Shameless fan and I credit them for getting me back into reading after a long hiatus. Which is why I really, really wanted to love this podcast. Unfortunately, the host’s strange voice inflections (overly scripted, weird pitch) just doesn’t lend well to podcasting. Really sorry, but...Read full review »

The best book podcast out there! Helps me pick new books to read and then I looove listening to debrief afterwards 💚💜

I LOVE this podcast!! I feel like I’m just talking with friends. I love all the laughter, how they respect each others opinions, and are so relatable!! So glad I found this one.

Stranger than fiction is my favourite sub series but they are all so good! A must listen for anyone, book lover or otherwise
Samantha9871 via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 05/28/24
Honestly, Zara and Michelle need to just do all their podcasts. The premise for this is great but the young girls are always laughing, eilish has the lost strange high pitch scripted voice and it all is unbearable to listen to.

Another epic podcast by Shameless Media group. I have been loving all of the new series within this podcast show from the intimate discussions with authors, stranger than fiction and now Tastemakers. I can always find something new and interesting here and love keeping up with the monthly book...Read full review »

I would expect the bare minimum preparation is to read the book you are discussing the adaption of, no? And basing judgements on the book without finishing it feels unfair. Also please edit out the constant giggling, it’s hard to listen to
anon__23 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/12/24
Shameless is such a basic podcast, look elsewhere if you want engaged, educated reviews of pop culture. The recent ‘tastemakers’ series is particularly terrible. As far as I can work out, the only criteria guests need to meet is that they’ve read a book (maybe) once.
westhon via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/12/24
Love shameless book club however the book picks this year have not been it.

A little gem of a fitness podcast that will make you want to get your backside off the couch and put down that piece of chocolate. Stella and Garry are great hosts - extremely knowledgeable, relatable and funny. Highly recommend!
Sasha Flower via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/28/24
As a Shameless fan girl whose new year resolution was to read more, I cannot thank you enough for this podcast. I help take care of my sick father and reading has now become my escape from reality. I get SO pumped to read the books you review so I can sit and listen to the podcast afterwards. I...Read full review »

Like to listen to this show. It has good, interesting content and guests but I struggle with the constant giggling from the hosts, especially the most recent episode. Really detracts from the rest of the episode.
Danielle1977 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/12/24
I am a former avid Shameless listener, but after the podcast became riddled with inside jokes I found it hard to keep listening and stay engaged. Fast forward 2 years of not listening, I decided to give the Boy Swallows adaptation episode a go because I’m a huge Dalton fan and couldn’t wait to...Read full review »

Love the screen vs book reviews but please stop screaming over the top of each other, hard to listen.
Crusty the Frown via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/23/24
The descriptions and analysis are always so educated and interesting and well informed. But as is consistent throughout Everybody Has A secret as well, the incessant inside jokes, giggling and forced laughing not being edited out is so unpleasant and jarring.
Dimitrova McCarious via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/20/24
I really enjoyed this when it was monthly and part of the main podcast. This iteration feels in its early days and that they’re still developing the concept. The book reviews can be a bit of an echo chamber at times. Just be aware to keep up with the books prior to listening as the book reviews...Read full review »

The Shameless Book Club was one of the key reasons I got back into reading in 2022 (51 whole books! Slay!) and I’m absolutely loving this new format with more eps, interviews and wholesome book based goodness! Keep it up ladies 💪
SamanthaNapier via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/10/24
The interview with Trent Dalton was so beautiful!
katherinabar via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/22/23
This is such a lovely, warm, cosy corner of the podcast world and I love it. Such a good and innovative variation of content, love the wild stories about authors, love book reviews and the author interviews.
samantha.s2018 via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 10/17/23
I LOVE this new series Stranger Than Fiction! I wish it was an entire podcast
palmspringey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/23
Reading other people’s book reviews of reviewed books not for me. Thank you.
SandyLove010161 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/17/23
Love this podcast — such a fun one to listen to after reading a book. Also motivating me to reward a bit more! P.S. You guys should review The Appeal by Janice Hallet. It has such an interesting innovative concept where you get to solve the mystery yourself.
vvnightingale via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/15/23
I’ve loved the first two episodes, the only reason this is 4 and not 5 stars is I want this weekly. Need it in my life!
kathazell via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/29/23
Loved your first ep ladies! I attempted to read this book years ago when it was hyped up not that long after it came out, but it was so grim, and i was more turned off by the macho-ness of it all and then how literally unreal it seemed! (Didn’t get through it) I remember seeing the episode Oprah...Read full review »

I haven’t listened to any episodes but this is a Shameless Media podcast so you get an immediate 5 stars!
