  • Fun reading couple

    This is a fun podcast that gives a different perspective, as you hear both from a young wife and husband about what they’re reading separately and together. You can tell they have a loving, warm relationship, and it’s fun to hear them discuss books they both read. Curtis also has a different type of book list from what I hear on most podcasts (leadership books, spy thrillers, war stories).

  • I love this podcast

    Chelsea and Curtis are so fun to listen to. They give me excellent ideas for my TBR for sure. But they obviously enjoy their bookish relationship. They are kind and respectful to each other and also have great senses of humor about their differences in taste. Honestly they are as much role models for how to treat people you love as they are reading role models. I love listening to them.

  • Interesting Ordinary Couple

    This podcast is a pleasure because it feels like I’m hanging out with neighbors. Chelsey and Curtis aren’t booksellers or authors; they’re just a couple who like to read broadly and then talk about the books. There aren’t enough podcasts with regular guys, which is another bonus
