  • Thumbs up

    Used to be an avid reader, and wanted to get back into books and needed some suggestions. The book suggestions are numerous and varied. She’s not afraid to be critical and is very precise which which is great to find what works for me. The whole interview and conversation is even better than I expected! Traci is a thoughtful interviewer. Love to hear the perspective from authors, readers and publishers.

  • Best pod!!

    Traci is a fantastic interviewer and her taste in books is top-notch. She manages to ask engaging, and sometimes tough questions, to guests that I am skeptical I would be interested in and changes my mind by the end of the episode. My reading life is so much richer because of her work! This podcast is a good time!!

  • I am smarter for listening to this podcast

    I look forward to this podcast every Wednesday, and my library collection grows each week with every discussion. Thank you Traci for bringing such poignant and articulate authors and for having brave conversations. I am so impressed with the convo you had most recently with Nathan Thrall. I’ve been looking for the people and podcasts I admire most to have these really tough discussions publicly and you really asked what a lot of us were grappling with. Thank you for all the hard work you put for... more

  • I love this podcast!

    I love this podcast because I always learn something new from Traci Thomas and her amazing guests. The best part is Traci, herself because her enthusiasm for books and reading is infectious. She actually got me excited to reconsider Shakespeare!
