Reviews

2.3 out of 5 stars from 7 ratings
  • Truly insidious AI slop

    Two AI voices “discuss” books that the creator of this podcast has never read, based on a podcast script that he/she didn’t write. Then episodes are bulk-uploaded. Just absolutely, howlingly empty. Skip this forever.

Book of the Day | 2026-02-26 |⚔️ Star Wars Jedi Prince 5 by Paul Davids | Sci-Fi & Deception Exposed
