United States5 months ago - Pretty pretty podcast
I have never written a review here, but as I’ve already told all my bookish friends about this exceptionally funny podcast, it’s only right that I tell a bunch of strangers on the internet how good it is too.
Sarah, Clara, Johnna and Sabrina are hilariously honest about the books they take apart every week, and sometimes they even like them – proving that any meanness dished out is always truly earned.
The camaraderie of these four comedians is not to be missed. Give yourself the gift of booki... more
Apple Podcasts5Abbie the MBC fanUnited Kingdom5 months ago - Overall: Good
Great concept, good segments. However, skip the If I Did It episode. It was offensive to the victims and the Goldman family. Pretty much the Goldman family are greedy and went after the book rights for money, according to them. I couldn’t finish the episode. There’s nothing funny about what happened to Ron and Nicole. They were completely lost in the media circus of the criminal trial. The only justice the families could seek was a civil trial.
