Customer Reviews
Brilliant
I love the diversity and it gets your mind in the right place
Guest Traci Thomas!
I was pleasantly surprised to hear the familiar voice of Traci as a guest! I heard about her podcast through another pod I listen to. She makes every single book sound amazingly interesting even though I’m more of a fiction reader and she is not. I haven’t listened in a while because I’m in a reading slump but this made me want to start tuning in again.
these are the most unfunny comedians ever
these people are way to partisan for comedy
