Balance?

There’s two lovely people in the hosts, here. One talks 90% of the time and it’s such a shame, if you want a relaxing podcast. Otherwise if you’re not lazy like me you can enjoy without letting this aspect of the dialogue irritate.

The Librarian is in

This is the most fantastic book podcast. The hosts are engaging, witty and knowledgeable. I live in the UK and this podcast has really expanded my “TBR” list.
Real comfort listening. Each time I tune in it makes me smile and I always learn something new.
How I wish I was a librarian!

Deeply unpleasant listen

After 5 minutes when the introduction wasn’t yet out of the way I lost patience with the way the host sounds like they are yoyoing back and forth from the mic.
I don’t doubt that it’s probably great once they get around to talking about books but the audio quality makes it unmanageable even though the hosts personalities seem pretty cool.
