Customer Reviews
Refreshing!
Stumbled across Words & Nerds on Twitter! Not disappointed. Interesting conversations, interviews & reminds me of why reading is so pleasurable
Wow unexpected !
What a great fun and interesting interview format. Loved the Craig Johnson episode, will definitely check the other episodes out!
Great way to connect with authors
What a delightful podcast! I enjoyed the conversation and wanted to immediately buy the book the author talked about even though it's not my usual genre. It's so fun to hear about how the book came together and their goals and inspiration. The hosts ask very thoughtful questions. Highly recommend!
