I stumbled on this podcast by blind luck. The first episode I heard was about Alan Bradley’s “Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie” and thoroughly enjoyed it. I like that the guys and their guests talk about books, TV and movies. The variety is great. I have only listened to episodes of stories I am familiar with. I am looking forward to hearing something about one that I do not. Biggest surprise? A couple of American guys discussing a Canadian TV show that I absolutely love (living in Western Canada: Corner Gas. Keep the fantastic stuff coming!
Great!
