The Outlander Podcast­

I am pleased to have found a sequential chapter read along with summary and analysis. If anyone knows of another, please recommend because I’m not a fan of the co-hosts. My biggest pet peeve are their unnecessary side tangents, often disagreements over how a word was pronounced or what exactly happened in the chapter. It’s annoying and time wasting to the point where I’m talking to myself in the car saying, “No body cares! Please move on to what I’m actually listening for!” Plus, they often will say “I’m not sure who did that or what exactly happened.” I find that confusing, because is it not your job to read the chapter? All in all, it’s fine, but I’d love to find one better.

Very good recaps and excellent read- alongside BUT… the “ singing” has got to stop. Although I am a professional musician , I really don’t want a course in music appreciation larded into Outlander information. The interjections are extremely annoying and really brings nothing of substance to the table. Yes, Bear has been doing a terrific job over all these years and every diehard fan is well versed in his use of old and new themes devised to parallel what is going on in the narrative. So, PLEASE, for the love God, stop pointing out the obvious by singing them.

What I like about this podcast is that it sequentially goes through the Outlander book series by chapters. They incorporate reader input which gives multiple points of view. You can re-read the series with them if you are current on the podcast and sign up for chapters to offer your insights. Love this. What I look forward to is going through the Lord John books! What I don’t like is the banter between the two host sisters is often rude and disrespectful.

I like how you two have read the books and are going through them sequentially and consistently. However, your mean comments to one another are neither cute nor winsome: Can you please learn to be warmer and friendlier and more respectful toward each other? I'm all for good-willed playful banter, but your irritatable digs at one another are unpleasant to listen to.
