Customer Reviews
Smart discussions
Really smart, amusing and enthusiastic discussions about all sorts of literature and literary topics.
Insightful and Thought-Provoking
Having had the privilege of being a student of Stephanie, Michelle, and multiple guests on the podcast, I thoroughly enjoy listening to them every week. It gives me an insight into their thoughts and create discussions I wish I could have experienced in the classroom. What I appreciate is that Stephanie and Michelle have such a vast amount of knowledge and so I know that I can trust what they’re saying and talking about.
Love from QLD
Just plain exciting for any lover of literature to have such a fascinating new literary podcast! I'm especially excited that it's also Australian! I often have a hard time dealing with our sport-centric culture but it's not true, there are great readers! Any literary student would relish in the literary insights from this podcast but you don't have to be an academic yourself to enjoy this podcast from two wonderful Macquarie Uni staff members. It's a podcast for all readers and they cover many types of books. Its so wonderful; they are so informed and informative! Yet they are also just readers which makes this especially compelling! Enjoy.
