  • chris is so annoying

    Would be 5 stars but Chris is incredibly annoying. His interruptions are frequent, and his insistence on inserting slapdash, juvenile political analysis gets pretty tiresome.

  • ‘Til death do us part podcast hosting

    This pod jest is a slice of Paul Anthony Heaven!

    Chris has the keen perception of Doc Sportello on a Lemurian acid trip, while Molly’s voice is more arresting than that of Madame Psychosis, quietly audible through an open window on a night walk around Ennet House.

    They don’t care who you are, where you’re from, as long as you write a good book. These two will take your favorite post modern literature and knock it out of the park farther than Bobby Thomson on a Ralph Branca fastball!

  • would totally recommend

    idk how you couldn't like this. You get the whole book read to you and at the end of the reading section you get some commentary which helps you understand what is happening.

  • The parts where she reads the book are good

    It’s a great book and she reads it in entertaining ways. The conversations they have in between the reading are dull and pretentious. She’s read the book before and he often stops her reading to try and guess what will happen next in the story and draw spoilers out of her for everyone listening. It’s not unlike eavesdropping on a table full of college sophomores on trivia night.
