I enjoy the topics.
But where or more importantly why do you invite guests that sound “ shallow”. Some of your guests are unbearable to listen to.
A sad impression and sad presentation of an educator.
Sorry, just an opinion. But these are works of writers which we appreciate.

The discussions are great, giving good historical & cultural context for each work that is great prep for actually reading them.

Plus, the guys are obviously great friends, and their chemistry as co-hosts makes each episode worth listening ... more
