Fun for what it is
If you love these books and just want to hear three friends talk through this book and share occasional background research/insightful predictions or theories, you’ll have a great time. I think it could be a 5 star pod if 1.) they talked less about the romance. At first it was fun, but it gets pretty grating over time. And I think it reduces Strike and Robin’s relationship to something less than it is. They get so excited about what it’ll be like when J.K. writes them kissing and flirting that i think it sometimes distracts from the rich layers of friendship, respect, and camaraderie that are ACTUALLY happening at the time they’re discussing 2.) sometimes the sound quality (especially of guest hosts) can be a little rough. 3.) They edited out some of Lindsay and Pools less enlightening arguments. They disagree a normal amount but hearing it, seemingly live, stresses me out a bit and doesn’t add much to the show. But I don’t know of anything else like this, and they know the series well and so I’ll still listen. Just need to spread it out more so I don’t get so annoyed by the quirks.

I really enjoy this podcast, especially episodes with Clara Strike. I would love they they merged with Denmark Street Deep dive. Both podcast complement each other. ❤️
