  • Great First Read Podcast

    The one thing I would suggest is my plan—fully read each book before listening to its accompanying season/episodes because Josh sometimes accidentally spoils things latwr in that book. BUT, unless he actually has spoiled something I didn’t catch, he does a great job sticking with that book (or prior ones).

    Josh and Alyssa have a great sibling dynamic, and being a first time reader myself, I appreciate Alyssa’s insight. Her background and experiences add a lot to her thiughts and theories too!

    I’ve been really enjoying this pod. Recently I started my 2nd re-read of Dresden Files in preparation for the new book finally coming. Glad I found this pod! It’s thoughtful and detailed and I really enjoy the deep dives. Keep it up!

  • Dresden Files

    I enjoy the brother - sister routine. Also like that they do not drop f-bombs left & right. They cover the chapters well.
