  • The ole college try

    I like the premise. But I feel phoney considering I haven’t finished any of the books I purchased since moonwalking with einestein. more

  • Incredibly fun

    Love that they balance taking about reading and writing with more light hearted jokes. Some literary podcasts take themselves so seriously that it can be like a lecture. This is more like sitting in on a conversation

    I listened to 15 minutes of their podcast on Barthes’ A Lover’s Discourse. Truly embarrassing. Is this a spoof or are you really that stupid?

    I listened to this hoping for a discussion about Woolf and got two dudebros talking about doughnuts and telling me that the book was stream of consciousness, but not “like the boring kind.” They then went on a lark about Friends fanfic (a joke that’s staler than Friends). It was like listening to two crusty, very out-of-touch old men trapped in younger men’s bodies.
