  • Wanted to like, but the guest isn’t allowed to talk apparently

    These people need to learn how to interview somebody. My favorite author is on and I wanted to hear her speak, but she’s barely allowed.

    Recently found this podcast and can’t get enough! It’s my new favorite thing to listen to while on my long walks, doing laundry, meal prepping, just literally anytime I can have this podcast on, it’s going on! Neely and Rachel are so good at making it feel like I’m listening to friends talking about their lives and the books they love and their interview style is so relaxed and fun! They’ve also introduced me to so many good books! God bless Carter Beckett!
