  • Love the Duo

    Great duo to listen to. No major spoilers, can enjoy reviews without ruing the book. Very funny guys. Would be better with me as a third

  • Good format, great takes

    I started with Daisy Jones & the Six and really enjoyed their conversation. Then I listened to their episodes on My Friends and The Handmaid, two books I couldn’t stand, as a way to find out what I missed. Fun way to do that and helped me pinpoint why I didn’t like the books!

  • All that and more

    The buddies book podcast is so unique in that it lets you into a story, but also takes you on wild tangents you didn’t know you needed. Similar to the ground breaking manningcast for the nfl, The buddies bring a fresh approach to a time honored tradition. Not only will you dive into a story, but you’ll also gain a plethora of knowledge on a variety of topics all while feeling like you are just hanging out having a good time. Great job buddies!

Carried Away - TJ Derry (INTERVIEW) - Episode 134
Q: What was the core intention behind making surfing a throughline in Carried Away?
TJ Derry explains that surfing serves as a vehicle for the story rather than the focal topic, enabling the characters' journeys and relationships to drive the narrative while the surfing backdrop provides atmosphere and stakes.
