semi-prose
Penguin Random House Canadasemi-prose is the books podcast that’s half as serious and twice as smart as your other favourite books podcast. Join Evan, Allie, Kristina, and Max: four semi-professional readers as they explore new Canadian books through their personal histories, stores of pop culture, and readerly curiosities, before the pros – the authors themselves – join the conversation.

Engaging conversation that flows well. I really like how this brings out the host’s personalities and their guests. Sometimes putting on this podcast brings up my day, even if I don’t pick up the books they promote. Keep up the good work!

Apple Podcasts3ProbablyReadingCanada7 years ago - It keeps getting better!
The shows have been getting better every episode. I like The approach of the set up (thesis) and group discussion and then author interview of the book.
Keep it to within 20-25 minutes
