SUMMARY: I pretty much summarized it with the title. I've read/listened to 50+ books since January 1 and I'M DONE. No, but I am done with two authors for sure, listen to find out who!

SUMMARY: This episode has everything you could hope for. Conspiracy theories. Hermione exoneration. And a rat who turns out to be a murderer. (Who knew Harry Potter was a sequel to 1300s Europe?) (It’s funny because the most devastating event imagina... more

I don’t believe this has ever been seriously said, but this podcast is one of the most meaningful uses of my time (with my children), and I’m thankful that you are both resting. Such wisdom. If you never record another episode, the back catalog alone is a window into a lifetime of listening and reading enjoyment. God bless you.
I love this podcast. It has two of my favorite things: books and comedy. I would love to hear what you guys have to say about the Victorian novel Lady Audley’s Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon.
Just found this and it’s great, the roast episodes are especially good, but be careful about listening to the Alan Dean Foster ones while driving or you and your car might be aborne into a multitudinous array of inscrutable shrapnel due to your emotional tumescence (you might laugh so hard you’ll crash)
My absolute favourite podcast! Always makes me laugh. I had watched quite a few of Kellen's stand up and really enjoyed his comedy. So image my joy when, as a librarian, I discovered that he hosted a podcast with fellow comedian David Vance that was about books! Never fails to make me laugh, I love it so much and recommend it to all my family and friends. The Harry Potter and period literature are my favourite episodes.
I always listen to this with my dad every Monday it’s so fun to listen in the car thanks!
