Not only do these two pick the most relevant books, but they discuss the books like I would with a friend. I feel like I’m part of their conversation when listening to their reviews. What sets this podcast apart from other book podcasts is their voice (not boring and stuffy!), their very relatable commentary, and their clear friendship.
