- Hit or miss
Some episodes are engaging and tell a story of a behind-the-scenes adventure in publishing. Other episodes struggle to focus on the topic, or give superficial information and repeat in different ways. Bethanne has a good voice, but she takes a long time to get the story out. Overall, I feel like I’m getting an abbreviated wiki article each time - and I would rather just read it myself.

Binged almost all episodes in one day. More, please!
Apple Podcasts5ejhy74United States2 years ago The first season was really good. I enjoyed listening to the dirty secrets of the publishing industry, and the greater questions they raise.
In the second season, Patrick pivoted to just talking about the publishing industry in general. This was less engaging for a layperson, although I think it would still be of interest to authors and aspiring authors. It's a lot more industry-friendly and not at all juicy. After skipping three episodes in a row, I unsubscribed.

I found this podcast very informative and interesting. I really enjoyed the interview with Jodi Picoult.
Apple Podcasts5EssovaroUnited States2 years ago - Stories told in a confusing way
I was excited about this podcast but after finishing the first episode I felt unclear about the story being told and I had seen the documentary/film about this hoax. Then after listening to two more episodes I realized it is an editing/story telling problem.
