Love this podcast. It’s such a lovely moment of escapism in my day - Joseph and Amanda offer such fantastic analysis and thoughtful reviews that always leave me excited about what to read next. Astute, insightful and completely absorbing.
Thank you both it’s so exciting when this podcast drops. Such great book chat every time.

Thanks for the recommended books for 2025
