    Kitty Goes to Washington: Horror

    Imagine living in a world where vampires, werewolves, and corrupt politicians walked among us. We aren't sure why this book falls into the genre of "Horror" unless you are terrified of tedious law policies. Join Erin and Jill as they try to catch the loose cat in the studio.

    Christmas Witness Protection: Holiday Suspense

    Holidays got you feeling stressed? Add to it by reading a holiday-themed suspense novel. Or destress and listen to us tell you all about it. Sam, Trevor, and Jill get together, have a few laughs, but stay out of the air ducts.

    Emperor's Babe: Historical Fiction

    Emperor's Babe: Historical Fiction

    When the wives are away the husbands hit replay. Go Prov does their best to fill in for their wives on their literary podcast. It's not quite what the usual listeners are used to but they sure will be entertained. Jill, Trevor, and special guest Natasha break down the book and then bury it. Safe to say this was none of our favorites to read.

Love this concept!

I really enjoy listening to the improv group’s take on the book summary as well as the discussions between the host and guests about the book and experiences. This is a fun easy to listen to podcast if you’re looking to find book recommendations or even just something to listen too while working ;) Looking forward to more episodes!

Great idea!

This was so fun to listen to! The concept of combining improv and books is a great idea. A bonus is the improv actors have great chemistry!
