  • Ideal podcast for booklovers

    The themes of each episodes are very well developed and the chat of Irenosen Okojie, Simon Savidge and Dan Smith is very fun, light and nice to hear it.

    Libraries are amazing and inestimable places and to listen to its history from other people is so precious and relatable!

    The book recommendations are incredible because it covers a wide variety of books and authors.

  • Superb book podcast

    Everything about this podcast is excellent - the presenters and the dynamic between them, the highly engaging and engaged guests and most of all the book content.

    Entertaining and informative without being in the slightest bit snobby or elitist.

    Hopefully there will be more to come from these three.

  • I wish they had read the books on the list

    Great guests but irritating presenters. I am exasperated every week when they haven't "got around" to reading most of the list of Books which changed our world.
