- Really great!
Still one of my favorites after years of being a listener. They always seem very genuine, and are often more generous than you’d expect when it comes to some popular titles and authors, while still poking fun or winking at half baked nonsense. I will say they sound less excited by the project in the last couple of years than they used to, which is valid. I still really enjoy the show.

Kait and Renata bring a lot of joy into my life via this podcast. I look forward to hearing the newest episodes every two weeks or so. I may have a parasocial relationship with these two but I’m okay with that. 5/5 stars!!!

Still one of my favorites after years of being a listener. They always seem very genuine, and are often more generous than you’d expect when it comes to some popular titles and authors, while still poking fun or winking at half baked nonsense, and going hard on the worst of the worst, like the Little Women and Werewolves crossover. The dramatic reading of Beth and Grandpa Lawrence’s cursed love confession was a highlight!
