I have been bingeing these podcasts after stumbling upon them 3 days ago! As an avid fan of JSAC, I have devoured the Expanse books, audiobooks (Jefferson Mays stan here!) and the series for years; and now TMOG books and novella! I love the way you jump right in, providing summaries, excerpts, insightful analysis--all with lovely humor! I feel like you would be such great chums to hang with. By far the best SciFi podcast I've followed!
Finally a place to nerd out about some great literature! I appreciate the thoughtful analysis and lighthearted humor, and especially that our charming hosts both seem to be what I would call “committed humanists”, sharing in the idea that humans are good and not surrendering to the darkness of our times. Bravo and PLEASE keep it up!
Thanks for doing this, guys! Love JSAC and your reviews and insights are fantastic 🫶
So excited for “season 2” :)
