  • Favorite episode: Brave New World

    I’ve listened to a few dozen episodes now and found I like them best when balanced by guests who can joke tremendously but also handle at least a single serious moment without affecting a silly voice or making a very tedious joke. More Adam Knox and Luca Muller!

  • Good, sometimes..

    Fun pod with some good reviews… until you get stuck listening to a noisy guest cackling at their own jokes because they forgot who the main character is… The Book.

  • Simply the best

    This podcast is so good, I think Dave should abandon his wife and child and read full-time to make more episodes for me.
