“Aw, I miss this pod so much. Two smart, funny women chatting about books and publishing and writing and all kinds of literary goss, like catching up for drinks with your best pals. And then they also interviewed cool authors? Perfection. I am genuinely thrilled for Bethany and Alice that their...”Read full review »

“I love the gossip, and I love the inclusion of discussion around personal writing experiences and I love that those things add to the overarching discussions around books they’ve read. Fantastic!”

“I’m so glad this podcast is back. I’ve listened to a lot of book podcasts in my time but this is one of only two I’ve stuck with, and I missed it so much these past few months. I was worried you’d never be back! So thanks so much for not only returning, but doing more frequent episodes too!...”Read full review »

“This podcast tries to be two friends having a chat about books but it just comes across as suffering from a lack of preparation. I just started listening to the review of the decade’s books and was so annoyed by the fact the presenters appeared not to have even decided on the format of the...”Read full review »

“I always look forward to a new What Page pod episode. Bethany and Alice are hilarious, and I love their women-centric approach to books. I’ve found so many awesome books to read and have expanded my genres outside of my comfort zone. Thank you! Jess 🥰”

“Just listened to the When I Hit You episode. They clearly didn't understand the deepest nuances of the book. Also, why is every other word uttered, 'like'. It's akin to listening to two teenagers talking crap about something they don't understand. Yawn.”Read full review »

“I listen to quite a few books podcast and this is now up there in my favourites. Two knowledgable hosts talk about books across many genres, taking it seriously but not stuffily. I even enjoy listening to them discuss books in genres I don’t especially like, such as true crime (“crimes”).”
