Thank you for all the work!
I’ve always enjoyed these quick interviews that kept me informed on new book releases. So sorry to hear the podcast is ending.
This podcast will be missed. John Miller did such a wonderful job interviewing the various authors and proved very helpful in my reading selections. Maybe gone but not forgotten or unappreciated. Thank you John J Miller.
I really enjoy this podcast. It exposes me to books that I may have missed and then read such as The Last of the Mohicans. I enjoyed the podcast about Ann Frank but want to share a rather cynical incident that happened in 2018. An employee of Ann Frank house was barred from wearing his yarmulka at work. This is documented by Dara Horn in her must read book People Love Dead Jews. The dairy may be considered universal but it is about the lived experience of a young Jewish girl. Tragically, ... more
The stories/interviews on this podcast go over and above what one might think could be packed into 12+ minutes. I’ve never listened to one that doesn’t whet my appetite for more. Excellent!
John J. Miller is the best interviewer I’ve ever encountered as I’ve enjoyed this podcast over the years. His expertise is on display as invariably his guests will assert, “That’s a great question!” And his great questions lead to great insights regarding current books and authors. Thank you.
I’ve been listening every week for about three years, and I just learned how to leave a review!
JJ selection of books and delightful interviews are always interesting. Also consider his other podcast “Great Books” a longer podcast of many of those classics we should never forget! Thank you for the great work, please continue! Ken Miner, Norman, Oklahoma
John J. Miller is a great interviewer and uses this podcast to review new book releases. His recent 12-minute interview of Russ Roberts about his book Wild Problems is a good example of a concise overview of the book and its purpose that made me want to read it.
Great resource for deciding which books to buy, which to get from the library, and which to pass by...
In your episode descriptions, can’t you give us just a little more information about the book? More than just the title? Sometimes the titles barely hint at the subject of the book.
I am also a big fan of Mr. Miller’s Great Books podcast. This is a different approach. Short conversations with authors of recently released books. While there is no way for a busy person to read EVERY book, you’ll find a couple of gems and definitely learn something about a wide range of issues.
I am always looking for a great new read, and this podcast gives me some awesome references
Short overviews are a great service for those in a hurry! Thank you!
