This podcast is becoming one of my favorite books podcast. Smart people talking about literary books that I want to read, but no pretension, just genuine interest, and a wonderful rapport between the hosts.
Even if the featured title isn’t one you’re interested in, the conversation between the three hosts is free and far ranging so you always leave with some new insight or recommendation. Just a great podcast overall.
