The Dan Brown Code

This podcast might be better if they used their critical skills to answer the question, "If Dan Brown's books are so bad, why do they keep on selling?" instead of nit-picking his words line by line, chapter by chapter. I find this approach has a rather limited appeal, whereas their critical thinking skills could be better spent on larger issues. But that might be beyond the scope of this podcast, and asking too much of the hosts. Still, they might want to consider a wider take on Dan Brown's work.

Basically it’s two friends(?) who hate Dan Brown, but also read every book of his for some reason. They take cheap shots about him taking cheap shots. They go on-and-on about him going on-and-on. It is basically a dude who has a crush on his co-host, poorly hiding it, while they both poorly hide their jealousy over why writers as clearly amazing as themselves aren’t as successful as Dan Brown.

This podcast is everything I never knew I always wanted. The hosts are funny and smart af and use both of these things to destroy Dan Brown. As of writing this I’ve only read along with Angels & Demons but I cannot wait to get into everything else.

A couple of idiots picking apart details.
