  • Bad way to monetize, episodes should add value you want to pay more for - not a 3 min fluff fake epi

    I really liked it but suddenly they only put up 3min episodes that are nothing just to tell you to pay. I understand they need revenue but it’s so annoying when it comes on my feed now I’m

    Unfollowing. I prefer the podcast model where we pay for extra content or like Culture Study adds extra bonus content to end of the same episode so the episodes that are free aren’t pointless. So disappointed when this auto plays in my playlist,

  • What happened?

    I’ve listened to this podcast for years. Suddenly the only uploads in 2025 are previews for paid content. Is the podcast now behind a paywall? I remember at the end of 2024 when you talked about posting more on substack, but I didn’t think the podcast was going to be on substack exclusively. Can you guys post a quick podcast to explain?

  • Informative and enjoyable

    I really enjoy the conversations and honesty of these two women especially as their tastes are quite different. The book recommendations really help me to expand my range of what I’d like to try to read and have more 5 star reading experiences- thanks !!

    🎵Reading through life

    Mindless and careless

    Make sure you’re where less trouble is rife

    Woes are fleeting

    Blows are a-glancin’

    While you’re reading

    THROUGH LIIIIIIIIIIFE!🎵

    Anyway, this is a very good podcast. Keep up the great work!
