Just listened for the first time. Very disappointed when one of you spoiled this book for me by mentioning a murder. Book podcasters should never include spoilers. I’m out.

Easily one of my top 5 podcasts 💗 They have the perfect balance of random nonsense mixed with intentional book, book industry and literary content in each episode. I’d love more episodes throughout the month, but it’s probably the right amount to keep me wanting more without feeling like I’m getting behind. If I’m behind on an episode, it’s only because I want to read the book first so I’m thankful they’re not all book club episodes. I also recommend each of Becca’s and Olivia’s substacks!
