I look forward to every episode. The conversations are lively, smart, and the recommendations are out of this world! One of my favorite podcasts!
I love listen to interviews with authors I’ve never heard of and discovering new work! I will listen to every episode! Highly recommend!
One of my favorite podcasts! I loved this show with two hosts and just as much with one.
This podcast has some solid bookish content and yet manages not to take itself too seriously. I have discovered some of my favorite reads through SMDB. The cocktail creations are intriguing, too. Thanks!

SMFB fits all my needs! A diverse selection, enough summary without spoiling the plot, and a very insightful host.
