Going through and listening to all the shows on things I read. Then reading all the books they’ve covered. Love hanging out with these guys.

The Princess Bride episode was everything I enjoy about Overdue. Thank you for the laughter.

a sheer waste of time

Didn’t get any info or insights. Long episodes without much to say. Those forced laughters don’t make the podcast any more interesting.
It is what it’s trying to be

I’ve been listening to the podcast since 2014 and it’s my favorite. There’s a lot of one star reviews on here complaining about the digressions and that the hosts joke too much. Listen, they aren’t here to summarize every single plot point, they aren’t trying to be high-brow literary and they aren’t trying to make you feel smart for listening to them. They are giving high level overviews of a very wide catalog of work and they have a good time doing it which makes it fun to listen to. The hosts are charming and insightful and put out a fantastic podcast.
