Great show. It’s a part of my daily morning podcast routine along with NPR’s Book of the Day.
Would have easily been a four star but for the AIPAC ads.
If you have a 5-minute podcast, please don’t add 2-3 minutes of ads onto it.
I love listening to these reviews and the sheer joy that the host and guests share for this Format. I’ve been introduced to narrators I’ve never heard before and have discovered must listen audiobooks.
