One of my absolute favorite podcasts! I am usually not a big fan of listening to people talk about books I haven’t read (I’d much rather read them!) but Leena’s enthusiasm for both the guests of the show and their works really makes the podcast.

For anyone who hasn’t read Sheila Heti’s Motherhood, there is a massive spoiler about half way through the discussion which was very disappointing for me, because I had just started the book (and was enjoying it).

Very perturbed by the proximity to the microphone of the lady? who was on the 19th September 2018 episode about film adaptations. She? repeatedly screamed into my ears unexpectedly and painfully. In that episode there’s...Read full review »

The audio is variable and sound quality is awful. It’s such a pity because I think you have great content (if I could hear it all).

Great podcast - well-curated, interesting and insightful. You can tell a lot of work has been put into this. I especially enjoyed the episode on dystopias. Looking forward to the next installment!

Amazing podcast! Great guests, interviewers, content and overall production. You can tell that a lot of work has been put into this. I especially enjoyed listening to the Dystopian episode - looking forward to the next podcast!

Thanks Vintage for this excellent podcast! Smart casual book discussion, cracking interviews with top notch authors and very dangerous book lists... One of the highlights of my podcast month.

Has Vintage ever published a bad book? Okay maybe a sticker every now and then... but this podcast is great. Martin Amis? Check. Irvine Welsh? Check. Get Alan Warner and you'll be nearing perfection.
