My fav podcast
This is my favourite bookish podcast out there; I learn something fascinating every episode. Keep 'em coming!
Always intriguing
I’m always sad to realize the episode’s ending. These are full of interesting anecdotes and expert opinions, paired with solid production quality. Please make many, many more.

Jeff, Rebecca, and Annotated team please keep them episodes coming!
