Excellent conversations

I recently started listening to the podcast when Jason Reynolds was a first. So glad to find this great place to hear about books and other media.

Like Having the Bookish Friend of Your Dreams

This podcast is brilliant. It's funny, informative, candid, relatable, and all around amazing. Traci cares about books and her audience, and approaches both with an authenticity and enthusiasm that makes you feel like you are talking to a friend. Thanks Traci for making me fall in love with reading again!

Awesome podcast for readers

I absolutely love listening to Traci’s interviews with authors. I’m a pretty voracious reader and listening to this podcast helps me think more critically about why I hate or love certain books. I feel smarter after each episode.
