Best conversationalists, best topics
I absolutely love listening to Becca and Olivia every week. They have the best dynamics and great things to say. I look forward to it every week! And I love their taste in books.
3/13/24 episode
i just wanted to say i was so encouraged by olivia and becca touching on the political state and their personal feelings about the upcoming election. as a very political person who is terrified of another trump term, i am really looking to people with a platform to use it for the good of our democracy. love all your episodes but just wanted to say thanks for the bravery involved in discussing politics on a non-political podcast.
Long-time listener with some thoughts
Have been a long-time devoted listener since pre-pandemic with Grace. Love the pod just as much with Olivia as co-host, but unfortunately in recent months has evolved into a show on the book-writing process, reviewing drafts, rounds of editing, etc. Etc. I get that this is a natural progression with Becca and Olivia's evolving careers, but it's becoming quite repetitive. Maybe there could be fewer, but more dedicated episodes on this topic and bring more overall variety to the pod.
