A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens from Zero to Well-Read

All the Books! is taking a holiday break, so we wanted to share this recent Zero to Well-Read episoe in which Jeff and Rebecca revisit Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, a story so familiar it’s often mistaken for simple. They consider its moral stakes, its enduring influence on readers and society, and why Scrooge's redemption still resonates.

Delightful

Dec 6

Bookstarr

I found this podcast during the pandemic and I have been regularly listening to it ever since. It is truly delightful to hear such well-read hosts talk about books of every genre imaginable. This podcast has helped me find so many books I never would’ve known about if I hadn’t been listening. Liberty Hardy in particular is really impressive - her joy for books is palpable and her love of cats and bird watching are fun extras.
More books!

I found this from the Reading Glasses podcast and I love the extra book recs and book talk!
Used to be my favorite

This used to be my favorite podcast. Listened religiously to the Well Read Heads. Still love Liberty but Rebecca moved on (fair, she doesn't have to stay committed to the pod forever) but was replaced by a revolving door of cohosts who basically range from "meh" to unlistenable. I don't know how else to kindly say not everyone is meant for podcasting. I'm certainly not. The episodes with Emily are especially painful. PLEASE revamp this show again. I miss it!
Disappointed

Tried this podcast because I really like the Book riot podcast. Disappointing. 5 minutes of air headed opening fluff. Host didn’t want to be there and hadn’t read the books on a list she was discussing. Finally got to talking about a book. Launched into a high school book report summarization of plot. I expected much more from Book Riot.
