YellowTandy ,

So good!

I started following the show for the Kindred episodes, which are exactly what I was looking for. The hosts cover every point of the show with depth and humor, and do an awesome job of discussing which plot points diverge from the book, and when that makes sense & when it doesn’t (and I completely agree so far — Kevin & Dana make much more sense as a married couple!). I can’t wait for more Kindred episodes, and to explore other episodes in the meantime.

Love this show!

I love hearing the perspective of women on nerdy things and I just love that at least once I will have an almost word for word reaction similar to one of yours to a scene. I’m listening to #dragonsyall and I love the family drama and how you all break down the episodes. 🫶🏼
