Not for me.

“I really wanted to love this podcast. I listen to a few other book club pods and love them, especially the ones poking fun at popular books.
But it turned into one long eye roll session.
In the very first episode I listened to the hosts started pushing Health at every size dogma. Which is a ridiculous claim.
It was the Rachel Hollis episode. I cannot stand her fit so many reasons, but most of the hosts’ criticism was centered around her “fat phobia” theorizing that she must not have been with the times and missed the whole fat acceptance thing. I assure you - she didn’t. None of us have missed it. We heard the spiel. It just makes zero sense. You cannot be healthy while morbidly obese. It’s a dangerous claim. Doctors disagree with you! Healthy at every size proponents are just like anti-vaxxers. Seriously, what exactly is the difference??? Both go against tons of research, data and medical consensus. Both have a tiny number of doctors who agree with their nonsense. I did get a good laugh when, while tearing Hollis down for her advice that people take care of their bodies and pay attention to what they eat, the hosts demanded to know what was the science behind her recommendation to drink a certain amount of ounces of water a day…
Also, white people using the word “tribe” (as in “find your tribe!”) is now problematic?!?? Give me a break. White people used to live in tribes too (Slavic tribes, my ancestors). What’s with this need to be offended??
Also, telling women to be aware of their surroundings is not victim blaming. Victim blaming would be to tell a woman that assault was her fault because she wasn’t paying enough attention walking through the parking garage. Reminding women real world is dangerous is not problematic because it’s true. There are some bad people out there, always have been, always will be. So good luck fighting against human nature.
I’m giving it five stars because I’m sure there is an audience that enjoys it.
But it’s not for me. I was exhausted by all the performances of wokeness. Not subjecting myself to that again.”

“Update: They CLAIM they have no real sponsors but I have spent a lot more on musical theater tickets since beginning to listen, so I am becoming suspicious.
There are few podcasts I can safely put on when I’m feeling down and know will immediately improve my mood, and this is the top. I almost...”Read full review »

“This saves me a lot of time - I tend to hear about books and think I need to read them. Kait, Renata, and guest always convince me otherwise (except for Black Hills - I'll start a Nora Roberts fan club with these ladies)!”Read full review »
