  • Used to be my favorite

    Update April 2026. Changed to one star.

  • Ad for AI audiobook reader

    I love this pod. Have listened for ages, and there are lots of great recommendations. Unfortunately there was an ad for an AI audiobook platform. Would love if as book readers we didn’t support LLM AI.

  • Adore this show!

    I’ve been listening to this since the very first episode and it’s still my favourite book podcast. Liberty Hardy is personally responsible for my TBR being completely out of control. I’ve lost count of how many fantastic authors I’ve found because of her recommendations. A wonderful podcast!
