The Book Pile

A podcast where comedians tell you about books so you never have to read! (Now including fiction!) Kellen does standup; Dave writes ads; together they highlight lessons from the world’s best books--and some of the worst. New episode every Monday!
Feels like listening to a great conversation with old friends

My brother-in-law introduced me to this podcast a few years ago, both because it’s hilariously awesome and because he knows Dave. I gave it a chance because I had seen Kellen on Dry Bar. I’ve been hooked ever since, looking forward to each new episode every week. Both Dave and Kellen are insightful and extremely funny. Now, because I’ve been listening so long, I feel like we’re friends and each new episode is simply our weekly group call. Thanks!
Too funny to be socially acceptable

Thanks for a great podcast! It’s good to laugh at 6 AM on my way to work. I used to tink that you guys are too funny for me to listen to in public, until I decided that I can just cover my mouth and pretend that I’m crying which for some reason is a bit more socially acceptable to do in public.
I love this podcast and please put this review on the show

This is my second favorite podcast behind how to file tax returns. I love Kellen’s comedy videos and Studio C, and have enjoyed it ever since someone recommended it to me. Me and Kellen both laugh at Dave’s jokes, and I laugh at Kellen’s (alone, for some reason). It is one It keeps me laughing while I am working, lifting weights, and when I am consequently in the hospital. Keep up the great work!
It's the same reviewer on the Watchmen and Hail Mary episode

I would know because it was me. I also wrote the review at your LIVE episode of Transformers, all on different phones. (Teehee) I love this podcast and listen to it on my walks, in car drives, and while pleading with my parents to become patron subscribers. I was really proud of my 43 books until I listened to how many books Dave listened to. (And Kellen I'm not forgetting you) I've quoted Dave before in a talk at church from the episode Creativity Inc., and learned to play the podcast theme song on the piano with music straight from Dave!! This podcast beats listening to Charlie Puth songs and that's super impressive. My favorite Christmas gift this year was the starlings adventure box! 😁 also statement one is true.
