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.

Great choice of books and a very nice style of talking about them

At the end of each episo... more
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!
