I’ve been listening for years! An avid reader, I enjoy the book recommendations since I share reading tastes with the hosts. I also love the fun segments like book tech testing, solving reader problems (we readers have so many problems 😂), and author interviews. This podcast promotes the love of reading and bookish life, without shame or judgement. All books are real books, and all reading (print, digital, audio, fanfic, comics, ARCs, etc) is reading!

I absolutely adore this podcast. Brea and Mallory both are wonderful hosts who adore books and reading and helping others figure out how to enjoy their best reading lives as well. They are so upbeat, funny , and kind. They are my mental comfort space I eagerly anticipate each week.

I’ve been listening to Reading Glasses for years and my TBR has grown exponentially.

The best bookish content out there! These women are funny, insightful and provide the best book recomendations. In addition to discoverying new to me authors, they try and review bookish products, answer readers questions and even bring in authors for interviews. If you are sick of basic booktok and Bookstagram recomendations, these are your people!

Love the humor, love the hosts, love the recs. Just love.

I have listened to this podcast for a few years now and I love it. I wouldn’t classify myself as a typical Glasser, but I’ve read more fantasy than I ever did before just based on Brea and Mallory’s excitement and description of a book. They have taught me and my partner that it’s ok to “drop that book” if we are not enjoying it. They give great book advice and it’s like listening to friends talk about books.

Sadly they lean so extreme one way on the political spectrum they aren’t able to see through their own “reading” glasses. I listened for a while hoping to just skim over their political bias, thinking it would smooth out or I could just let it roll and we could talk about *gasp* good books! Not the case. Unfollowed and encourage everyone else to be wary (over half the country will also find this podcast trashy). There is a way to run a podcast that appeals to all readers (I follow them all) and there is not that podcast. Yikes.

This is and has been one of my favorite pods overall (not just bookish) for years , but the January 23, 2025 episode recorded in the new studio has a very different audio quality than we are used to. It’s echoey and tinny at times and the mics are picking up every mouth sound. I really hope that this isn’t for always because it’s what could make me ditch this pod.

Helped me out of a book slump. Thanks for all you guys do😊❤️. Love all the recommendations l!

I’m so glad I found Reading Glasses! Some of my other book pods were getting a bit stale, and this is the fresh and delightful reset I needed. Hosts share about a variety of books and offer smart, funny and accessible insight about bookish topics. So many good recs! My TBR hates to see a new ep coming, but I love it!
