Love the format

Always worth listening to, I have listened to episodes about books I never intend to read because I love Andrew and Craigs banter. I don’t always agree with their opinions but if we all liked the same stuff, life would be pretty boring.

Too much-unrelated talk

There is too much unrelated talk. The whole podcast can be done in half an hour. The hosts jump from one topic to another topic.

No

Disappointing for anyone actually interested in literature - but if you are into two friends goofing off you will enjoy! They seem like nice guys- this just isn’t a worthwhile literature podcast
