  • A comforting, charming, erudite gem

    A friend introduced me to this podcast and it’s so lovely. I can’t claim to be anywhere near the level of erudite reading these folk attain but, like the best podcasts, it doesn’t matter. The choices are eclectic (from coffee table books and their delights to fungus the bogeyman and Anne Sexton), the voices of John Mitchinson and Andy Miller are rich and beautiful- total bedtime stories voices. Simply lovely

  • A warm blanket of a Podcast

    A previous reviewer described this podcast as both challenging and comforting at the same time - summing up much of my feelings about this gem. Yes it can be a bit ‘laddish’ on occasions but the presenters are so charming and funny this is quickly forgiven. I am still working my way through the back catalogue whilst always listening to the latest episode as soon as it arrives, and I am on increasingly good terms with my local librarians as I discover wonderful new reads which they have to dig... more

  • A pure delight

    What a joy. These are the conversations I don’t get to have in my day to day life. It’s not often you find another person who’s read Gaudy Night. These conversations have filled a hole for me, made my reading richer, and bring me pure delight.

  • Love everything about this podcast, from the wonderful theme music, to John's atmospheric intros ("You find us today..."), to Andy's entertaining discussions of the original blurbs. So many intetesting guests; and John and Andy's enthusiasm is infectious. I've only read a fraction of the books discussed, but I'm always inspired to read more. Congratulations on reaching 200 episodes, and here's to the next 200!
