My favorite book podcast

Can’t wait to listen to what wacky conversation they will have and what awesome Author they will have on the show. Truly wholesome midwestern people who are genuine and a blast to listen too.

Fantastic podcast

Not just new books and authors... though the guidance is great. The chatty real-life and day-to-day experiences of the three hosts are fun & engaging. Hands down- my favorite podcast.
