Customer Reviews
Amazing
Benjamin is the one of the greatest guys I’ve found to discuss not only literature but life in general. Would be lost without these and his fantastic YouTube channel!
The best podcast about the best books
I’ve been following this podcast and its sister YT channel for over a year and have learnt so much from it. Ben has a way of talking about literature that really engages, without being too academic or talking down to you. The podcast is great and his Patreon channel is even better - that’s where you go if you want the true bookclub experience.
Absolutely the best.
Ben’s enthusiasm is infectious.
I found Ben on YouTube when looking for help with reading Shakespeare then found these podcasts and I was hooked. If only my school teachers had shown such passion for literature and understanding of the human condition then I wouldn’t be here in my 60’s just learning to appreciate the great authors and poets. Ben talks with such knowledge and passion about every book and literary topic that I joined his Hardcore Literary Book club this year and am tackling books I always thought beyond me and learning so much about life and myself. I can’t recommend him enough if you are a serious reader.
