  • Great discussions

    This is an exceptionally good book podcast. Dua is so obviously passionate about literature and reading, and smart and thoughtful with her conversations with really prominent and interesting authors. I always look forward to new episodes and think about picking up books that I wouldn’t normally come across or consider.

    I love this podcast so much. Buying every book and checking out every author. Dua is a perfect host, intelligent, articulated, warm, just awesome.

    Also, it sounds like Dua says "pour a glass, grab your BUTT and let’s get into it".

    So everytime the intro starts, I get ready to grab my butt.
