What a great podcast. The dad jokes at the end are great.
More fun than a book club

When I listen to this super-fun podcast, I wish there was a way I could join in on their conversation. Not only do M & K talk about the book, they also do some research on the weekly topic and discuss interesting facts. I feel like I am listening to my friends’ conversations and I want to be a part of it! I am always entertained.
Needs to be more organized

I like the chemistry between the two it makes listening to them a lot of fun. But they vaguely talk about five topics and skip around so it kinda feels like you don’t take away anything from the podcast. They are fun though.
Like your girlfriends nerding out with you

Everytime I listen to this podcast I love getting Marissa and Katie’s take on the book! My husband listens along without having read the books and he enjoys it because they do a lot of research related to the book and sometimes what they dig up is weird BUT also interesting!!
