  • Love for Stories

    I’m a bit obsessed with this podcast. Stephen & Jody are highly intellectual but do not come across as know-it-alls. Their approach is fun and accessible which I appreciate. We were made for stories. Their love for stories is contagious, as I have already read a few of their book suggestions. If you love classic, British, Lewis-esque literature you’re in the right place.

  • Thoroughly enjoyable and worth while!!

    I am so very pleased to have found this podcast. The selection of works is on point, more than a sampling of all that is good in storytelling, especially when it is grounded in a belief in a value-rich world and the aspirations of the human heart. The conversation between this thoroughly likable brother-sister team is never empty of meaning, and it is characterized by a true love for the works discussed and marvelously good humor—including, at times, contagious laughter. At the end of each episo... more

  • Wonderful Positive side of Literary Reviews

    My buddy Dave told me to check out this podcast and I’m sure glad I did! I love the positive reviews of literary masterpieces that also give some background on the “why” some seemingly arbitrary details are important or at least how they made into the stories. I also appreciate the Jiu-Jitsu references in “BeoWulf”! Good stuff! Keep them coming!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pints with Jack Meets Good Stories
Q: What makes your approach different from a traditional book club?
Our goal isn't to get everyone to read every book; it's to introduce people to books we love and discuss why others might love them too, showing the value even if they never pick up the book themselves.
Pints with Jack Meets Good Stories
Q: How do you run your book-chat podcast and keep it engaging for listeners who may not have read every book?
We walk through a story with background, author context, and a guided walk through the book from start to finish, which helps people understand why we love it and how others might feel the same—plus we connect other stories to bridge ideas.
