  • Interesting guests and themes

    Recently started listening on my commute, and I really like the genres it sticks to, as well as the host having insightful commentary. I only wish the audio were a bit better. I try to listen to this when commuting and have to crank up the volume all the way because the audio is more soft than other podcasts. Perfect for in the house but maybe not on the road.

And her joy in the genres that she is in offers you... more

  • The Best Podcast for Book Lovers!

    I stumbled upon this podcast when Travis Baldree advertised an interview with him some time ago, and I was so glad he shared it! There are great interviews and chats with amazing authors of various genres. If you love gothic reads, horror, thrillers, fantasy of all types, then you will enjoy this podcast! You can also check out Patreon to get in on the monthly Book Club, which is amazing! Highly recommend if you are a bookworm and cannot get enough of books and writing!
