The constant inappropriate laughing makes this impossible to listen to
Unlistenable
I used to get all my recs from Anne’s show! Love everything about it, but …Please interview more men and older people. It seems to me in recent years you’re leaning into the late 30’s early 40’s female viewpoint.
Good podcast for years. But, is editing hitting the speech rate button??? Lately, very choppy, sped-up ads. Very choppy interviews. Result is not good. Many words not understood.
I used to LOVE this podcast but the amount of ads are OBNOXIOUS! I hate to say it, but it’s not worth it honestly. I also feel like she gives way too many plot points away when describing a book. I just want introduced, not the first half of the book ruined.

Weekly conversations help readers find their next book by starting with what they love, dislike, and are reading now.

Team discussions add seasonal reading lists, publishing insights, and reflections on how books fit into everyday life. Guests range from lifelong readers and book-club organizers to authors and reading-industry voices, bringing both personal experience and professional perspectives.
