- Hilarious and worth it
I’m so glad I found these two from their B5 podcast/watch. I haven’t read the books since 2013 aside from 1-2 abortive attempts at a reread, but their insightful and genuinely hilarious commentary has inspired me to join them on the reread.

Apple Podcasts5KateCMUnited States6 months ago - Good show, but I’m not not here for political commentary
I’ve very much enjoyed listening to these people, they’re witty, fun, and cover the material very well.

I saw Ali on a panel at JordanCon 2022 and liked her immediately. Someone sitting next to me said she had a podcast and I was like “I’m in! Going to re-read the books just to get to listen to this lady.” And they did not disappoint!
I’ve been making my way through both books and podcast (slowly because life), and it is a delight to follow along with Gus’s narration, Ali’s theorizing, and their alternating sweet and dirty banter.
Ali (first time reader) is brilliant at putting pieces together... more

(Woop, woop) That’s the sound of da police …
Incoherent contortions of the English language attempting to tell you how you should think … all packaged in an irony free podcast.
