Customer Reviews
Companion unity
I love listening to the discussions about Saints because I wish I had more people to discuss it with in my own life! All of the co-hosts are fun to listen to and voice some of my own questions, thoughts and feelings. And I’m grateful to the historians and writers that come on to add some more context and break down the book for people who aren’t as familiar with the history… like me. All-in-all, I’m just as excited to listen to the podcast as the book itself.
Good companion information
Saints is a good companion podcast to reading the book. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed learning the history!
