Great Topic for a podcast
22/09/2023
Am really enjoying this podcast and the varied approach to the topic of Booker. Presenters are articulate and share a good amount of opinion without being overly opinionated. I do think they could have made A LOT more effort on reading the 2023 Booker long list - one book read between both presenters is pretty poor. Bit more homework please!
It grew on me and now I’m loving it

I often avoid Booker winning novels, my prejudice was that the short-listed novels are pretentious and dry. This podcast proves me wrong. I’ve really enjoyed the Oscar episodes and the recent Booker vs. Bookies. I’m listening to every episode now.
Love the lit crit

This is my favourite podcast. I started reading all the BPWs in chronological order last winter (I’m up to 1982) and James/Jo have been the best literary companions. I love the way they riff off each other and how they weave in their own analysis and interpretation without intellectual snobbery or being patronising. Love the “thesis/antithesis/synthesis” structure identified by James. I see it everywhere now! Thank you
Engaging and love the sparring between the two hosts

Really interesting podcast for any book lover. Both hosts and engaging and have their own perspectives on the books discussed. I particularly love the sparring they do when they differ in opinion. It’s respectful and humourous and makes it a fun listen! Thank you
