Just love listening to Book Off! I only discovered it this year and have only a few podcasts left to listen to. I enjoy listening to some podcasts more than once and look forward to the new ones coming in February. I don’t think all the podcasts made are available on Apple and would love to listen to all the earlier podcasts if they’re available?
I have only just discovered this podcast and am so happy that I have a wealth of listening to look forward to. Host Joe Haddow creates a genuinely warm and engaging atmosphere, making this podcast a welcoming space. I’m currently picking episodes at random & had to leave a review after so thoroughly enjoying the Stig Abel & Jo Spain episode!
Great concept, well executed. I found this one because Jasper Fforde was on it but now I listen even to authors I’ve never read just to hear them talk about their favourite books.
The 'book-off' part of the podcast is original and interesting, but there is far too much general chat before the book-off
Have found this only recently and have really enjoyed the half dozen episodes have heard so far. One suggestion: it would be great to record the names of the books mentioned by the interviewees (ones they are reading and would recommend). It is hard to find and relisten to the bits about that in the pods. I know the actual book-off books get a mention but it would be cool to name check the others too. Thanks!
