Smart, funny and thoughtful

When I love a book series all I want to do is find other people to obsess about it with me—and this podcast scratches that exact itch for me. Jessie and Lark are smart, funny and thoughtful hosts and I look forward to every episode.

Baz’sBestie ,

My Comfort Podcast

I love Simon and Baz with all my heart. I re-read these books anytime I need to feel happy and safe. Likewise, this podcast just delivers on the good feelings, laughs, and queerness I love about the trilogy. Lark and Jessie are hilarious, and their takes on the books are so insightful. Every episode leaves me with the warm fuzzies! I honestly wish I could be BFFs with Lark and Jessie in real life so we could nerd out on all things Carry On!

Must Listen for any Simon Snow series fan

Jessie and Lark are a joy to listen to and their analysis, insights, and humor talking about these books is very engaging, fun, and helped me enjoy and appreciate these books on an even deeper level than I already did.
