- Like hanging out with your besties!
This is one of only a few podcasts I listen to on a weekly basis! I love the bookish discussions, pop culture references and the three things episodes are my fave! As an aspiring author, I’ve also found it so inspiring to follow Becca and Olivia’s journeys and hear more about the ups and downs of their writing careers. Their voices are warm, witty and relatable!

I really enjoy BOP - it’s genuinely one of my favorite podcasts. That said, I sometimes wish Becca would offer Olivia the same kind of consideration and generosity that Olivia often shows her.

This podcast just feels like cringe after cringe. I want the old ... more

I used to love this podcast, and I still love Olivia. But between Becca constantly taking over her, her recent argument that maybe we don’t need to teach English class in the same way anymore, and the interview with Chelsea Handler, I’m out.
