Customer Reviews
Really enjoy this show.
Fantastic show, thank you both!
Fun to listen to
I don't even read the books most of the time (no time - PhD student, argh ...), but I like to keep up to date with what's going on in the genre, and Tom and Veronica are both just fun to listen to. This is the show that first got me hooked on podcasts years ago!
Fantastic
Informative and entertaining. One of the best Fantasy and SciFi podcasts. My too read list has grown immensely over the years I have been listening
