I found Nort and Anna from the Encounter Table and I’m so happy I did!!! This show brings up so much memories from the books I read as a child. 10/10
I love this show, every episode is something incredible. I especially love all the misinformation that Austin loves to spread and how Anna normally takes a second to be like nuh uh. But truly amazing thank you guys.
Honestly love this podcast I found it through another one of your sister podcasts and came over here as quick as I could, I’ve been listened to all of them, initially over on Spotify but I loved it so much I came to apple just to write a review and listen again!

A lighthearted, nostalgia-driven show where two adults read and discuss children's books and related comics. Episodes cover a wide range from Junie B. Jones to Magic Tree House and Fear Street, mixing affectionate critique with sharp humor, banter, and occasional commentary on related media. The hosts' dynamic — playful, teasing, and proudly geeky — drives an approachable format that appeals to parents, educators, and adults who grew up with these titles. A standout aspect is the blend of personal anecdotes, deep book discussion, and running jokes that give the show a distinct, comfortable vibe that fans come back to for both laughter and bookish insights.
