Wonderful virtual book club

Fantastic content, loving the virtual book club in a time of great need! Some constructive feedback however to improve the listener’s experience: the audio levels are very inconsistent, making it uncomfortable to listen to. I hope this can be addressed for future episodes!
Inspiring and interesting podcast

This is one of my new favourite podcasts, which has inspired me to read more broadly and more often. Jam and Astrid are thoughtful presenters who weave their own experiences and perspectives into their literature reviews and recommendations and the interviews in this podcast are beautiful deep dives into a wide variety of societal issues.
variety abounds
