Customer Reviews
Fantastic
Hello! I really love this podcast.
Just started listening. The content is great and you make fantastic recommendations for books by people of color. Can you please do something about the sound/volume though? I listen with headphones on my commutes and someone always ends up laughing loudly or speaking too softly. It really hurts my ears when it's too loud. Please fix this. I would love to keep listening but don't want to adjust my volume every 5 minutes. Overall- great podcast!
Enjoyable
I really enjoy listening to Mostly Lit. The conversations are always interesting and the book recommendations are always spot on.
The Mouth Sounds...I just can't
I love listening to anyone talk about books but I just can't do it with the dry mouth sounds coming out of the hosts. Drink some water or something please.
