Customer Reviews
Amazing
You are such an amazing pet who talks about such important and interesting topics with equally interesting people ❤️
Great content.
New ads are disappointing. Very invasive.
For me the ads destroy the flow of the show. Will be listening elsewhere.
Great Interviews Lead to More Books
Be careful when you listen to Talk Nerdy.
Cara habitually interviews interesting guests, many of whom have written books.
I am increasingly finding myself compelled to buy the books, and all have been great reads!
Thanks Cara for your engaging and enthusiastic interviews. I hope I can thank you personally in Melbourne later this year.
