    Have been listening for several years and was excited when Chad came back. BUT, I just can’t continue to listen with how much of a pompous/arrogant, holier than thou know it all Evan has become

  • Such a fun show

    Thank you so much for your interview with VE Schwab. It is so interesting hearing about her struggle with anxiety and how it affects her writing process. I learned so much and appreciate the conversation about the writing process happening between two writers. She is so down to earth, would love to hang out with her- glad you got the chance! I really enjoy the book reviews, chats and interviews. Keep up the great work.

  • Favorite talk show?

    I was introduced to this podcast via booksaresick. Fair to say I was instantly hooked. So much so, that I’ve gone back to the first episodes with Evan and Chad and slowly working my way through them all. They are so easy to listen to and it’s just a fun time. Big fan of the Friday Forge episodes. If you’re a fan of the genre, I can’t recommend this enough.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Narrator Interview: Moira Quirk
Q: What advice would you give to someone trying to break into audiobook narration?
She emphasizes mentorship programs, listening to a wide range of performances, doing an audiobook workout with exposure to different genres, and being willing to read and learn the craft in depth, including pronunciation and direction.
Narrator Interview: Moira Quirk
Q: What does a typical narrating day look like for you?
She explains starting at nine with prep on an iPad, staying mindful of breaks via an Apple Watch, and balancing pre-read, recording, and possible pickups, often finishing around three or shifting to nights when recording from home.
Narrator Interview: Moira Quirk
Q: So Moira, let's hear your story. How did you get into voice acting and audiobook narration? When did you realize your voice was ear candy?
Moira describes arriving in LA with a background in stage and animation, how her English accent helped her stand out, and how her early work in radio, BBC plays, and education led to audiobook narration as a natural extension, especially after working with a director who recommended her for the format.
Author Interview - Moses Ose Utomi
Q: Any teasers about the new book you're working on?
He keeps details guarded since it's very early, but hints at continuing his exploration of truth, power, and possibly new narrative forms, with a commitment to share more when appropriate. He emphasizes that he will announce or discuss it when ready.
Author Interview - Moses Ose Utomi
Q: How did you decide the work would become three novellas instead of a single novel?
He explains that novella length is his default and that the three-part structure emerged from a mix of practical and artistic reasons: keeping the intense, focused pace, and then expanding to cover broader themes like truth across a time-skip arc, which allowed the exploration of propaganda, power, and deception across generations. The decision was reinforced by the desire to maintain breath and momentum while delivering a complete thematic journey.
