Customer Reviews
Good review
Good to have the review back.
New host please for the love of god
Does Gilbert Cruz read books 😫
Reboot is a disappointment
I was a huge fan of the original, and although Pamela Paul sometimes hogged the mic, this new iteration has swung way too far in the other direction. It’s like reading the blurbs on a book jacket, instead of hearing an insightful conversation. I hope Gilbert Cruz is allotted enough resources to bring back the quality.
