  • Love listening to these two

    This is a chill and funny podcast that feels like hanging out with friends, and it convinced me to read Scum Villain which ruined my life (positive). Patiently waiting for them to release the Gideon the Ninth episode…

    This podcast has become not only my #1 source for book recs, but also one of the places I go when I just need the sound of friends in my ears. It’s insightful, funny, and deeply soothing.

    Thanks for the show!

    one of my favorite podcasts!!! with book podcasts i often feel somewhat shut out from the conversation if haven’t read the books being discussed (which i usually haven’t), but with cracked spines i never feel that way. the conversations are wide ranging, smart, and so so funny
