  • Too many live shows

    I enjoy your commentary and really enjoy getting g to re-experience the books for the first time through your eyes! I’ve been with you since the Potterless days, but the whole podcast has just become live shows. It’s just not as good as you and a guest one on one discussing the book. Probably fun if you’re there, but just not a great audio experience.

  • Why Debra Messing

    Hi Mike! I’ve been listening to you since the early day of potterless and I love watching you fall in love with PJO!

    I was just wondering why on a recent pod you called out Debra Messing as someone you don’t like. I know she has showed strong support for the Jewish community over the last few year, is it perhaps that? I am Jewish and just wanted to understand where that comment was coming from. Thanks!
