  • Spoiler-free

    Love the thoughtful discussions that spark my interest in a book, while always remaining carefully spoiler-free. That's a tough balance to find, and they do it really well. I've picked up several things to read on their recommendation and I've never been disappointed. Keep up the good work!

I would rather have the guests engage in a real conversation. People don’t talk in a strict order in the real world.

On the other, you have the quality of presentation, which includes the narrator, audio quality, accessibility, etc. I haven’t come across a podcast that really addresses these things in any material way. Narrated does just that. I also really like the host. There’s a certain genuineness to his approach that I appreciate. His message comes across intelligently and with an engagi... more
