  • I wilt

    Harper is great and though I usually enjoy the guests, I find some more compelling than others, e.g. more Tobias Churton ! :-)

  • Poor Quality

    The people interviewed are doing very interesting work, but the quality of the audio is terrible. I can barely understand what anyone is saying, and the conversations are quite awkward. The interviewers appear to be unprepared and more invested in their own ideas rather than the ideas of the people they are interviewing. As magicians, I expect more. It’d probably help if everyone was in the same room, rather than on a phone call... The idea of this show is so brilliant, please do something to im... more

  • My favorite podcast

    This is my favorite podcast. Harper Feist does such probing and entertaining interviews with her guests, which are informative a lots of fun. And the guests are great. My favorites are the interviews with Peter Mark Adams and Carl Abrahamsson, but I like them all. Some authors make the rounds when they have a new book, but Feist is able to get her guests to share a little more that I greatly enjoy. I have not found another interview of this depth with Rain Al-Amin, which is another favorite. And... more

  • Generally good guests, questions could be better

    I agree with another reviewer, while I like listening to the guests - who are usually quite interesting. Frater Puck seems likable - but he should ask better questions in general, and refrain from laughing agreeably after every guest answer. Call-ins might add some interest.
