  • Great, easy and interesting listen

    If you like the sorts of books these guys read and review, you’ll love this podcast, it gives me ideas for new ones to read, gives me a different viewpoint (i’m the only person I know who reads this type..!) . It’s terrific. It’s a nice listen, the rapport between the hosts is great and overall its a very unstressful, pleasant, unrushed listen! The new pairing has really established itself and the show is stronger than ever

  • Yet another podcast with too much filler

    I’ll use the last episode (194) as an example. It took 20 min. for the two hosts to finally get on with the book review. If you enjoy people droning on and on about their personal hustles and “workshops” they are selling, then this podcast is for you! Simply too much self reflection and me, me, me, examples on the topics they cover.

  • Dr. Julie Smith

    I was interested in this episode because I’m interested in Dr. Smith m’s book, which has been a best seller for weeks. These guys seem to have high opinions of themselves and not of her. I beg to differ, but they’re not worthy of any more of my time.

  • Enjoyable to listen in

    I don’t actually read most of these books (though I like the ones on habits) but I like learning about them and hearing Mike and Joe think them through.

  • 👍🏻

    The last episode about “I didn’t do the thing to day” was my favorite! I will write a summary of it, that’s how much I like it.

    I think the coming book about creativity one of you were alluding to is “keep going”?
