  • Fantastic

    The hosts are super knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and bring a must-needed perspective to the fandom. I really appreciate their book reviews and discussions of fan theories since they allow me to get all of the important information even if I haven’t read the book or dug into the theories.

    Was looking for a podcast about the new books and found this one. I like the dynamic and love that at least one of you is a new swiftie. I am too! Was sooo excited for some Taylor with my Star Wars.
