Customer Reviews
good conversations!
Josh Olds is obviously passionate about books but what i really like is that he has a real conversation with the authors instead of pushing his own agenda about what the narritive is.
Glad this show is back!
Love hearing the reviews, (full disclosure I love the text reviews as well) and all the interviews- though the Larry the Cucumber intro was a little bizarre.❤️
I’ve skipped around a bit- I don’t know everyone featured, and my attention span fights with me, I need to go back and finish.🤔
Josh is at it again!
Life is Story as a whole is deeply vested in bringing underrated stories to the forefront for everyone to enjoy with in-depth reviews. I’m so psyched that Josh is doing this podcast!
