  • Love but struggling with long episodes

    I used to love this podcast. The deep dives into my favorite books help me relive and stay in these fantasy worlds. It’s a great mix of being lighthearted and deep.

    I’m majorly struggling with the length of the episodes. I used to think 2.5 hours was long but this week an episode clocked in at over 4 hours. Plus two episodes released each week. That’s the equivalent of a short audiobook every week I would lose out on just listening to the podcast.

    I wish there was some more critical feedback... more

  • No Longer Listening

    I thought I would enjoy this podcast as they cover some of my favorite books. But nope. I can’t stand it. It feels overly scripted and they are loud and obnoxious with their laughing. The ads are too much and annoying. Done with the podcast.
