  • Fun deep dive but needs editing

    The hosts have thoughtful insights and I appreciate how thorough their analysis is, including pointing out details I never noticed despite multiple rewatchesI

    Constructive criticism, I do recommend a tighter edit of the episodes, there’s a lot of repeated thoughts (Ren especially repeats herself numerous times, almost like a verbal tick) and at times they pause so long between speaking I think the episode has frozen. A little tinkering will make the episodes sing!

  • Tuna Melt Kisses!!!

    I have been listening since day one and a loyal listener. I look forward to each episode every week.

    Their analysis of Heated Rivalry has made me stay at the cottage for almost 8 months. I even re-listen to every episode again.

    I love their chemistry and make me laugh so much. (Tuna Melt Kisses…IYKYK)

    Keep the deep dives coming! About Shane removing his shoes, as a Canadian, we always remove our shoes by default when we visit someone. Always! I think Shane was just being a typical Canadian. As for Shane being a border collie, I think that Ilya is the border collie. He’s always circling the room and “herding” Shane. He’s is always on alert!

Bonus Episode: Audiobook Narrator Q&A with Daphne Winters
Q: What is the easiest type of scene for you to read and what is the hardest?
