  • My train entertainment

    It’s basically a routine for me since this podcast started to always listen to any episode when I’m on my way to work.

    It makes me feel calm and relaxed. I completely disconnect from everything and I just focus on books, the people talking on the episodes and the positive vibes that Jack brings to them.

    I loved Jacks’ videos on YouTube and I’ve stopped watching social media as much, so it’s good to have this format.

    So good, honestly. Truly recommend it! :)

  • Fascinating episodes!

    This is a wonderful start to a podcast series. Jack has always had such insightful takes on books and it is so exciting to see him bring that to discussions with authors. I am really enjoying the discussions about craft of writing and learning so much. I think if you enjoy books, you will enjoy this unique perspective.
