I have to say I originally listened to a more well known fantasy podcast and the women leading it were so hyper it bordered on manic. FoF DOESN’T speak to listeners in high pitched excited screeching to keep attention. Their content and evaluation is thorough and entertaining. It feels like I’m talking to my friends about it. Really easy to listen to, job well done :)

I love FoF— it feels like listening to friends talk about my fav books. And if I can’t be reading a book, I love listening to chats about books, characters, theories, and plots while I’m going about mundane adulting. It is the perfect amount of depth and frivolity to add nuance to a lot of fantasy plots. I love history with Anna, appreciate how much all of you research so we don’t have to!
Many, many thanks for just stopping the pod for commercials— I DESPISE when hosts try to casually bring them up in conversation ad a segue, it’s so ick.

I really enjoy this podcast and love the dynamics of their discussions. The only thing that I find frustrating is how often they interrupt each other. I love that they’re all excited about the books, but it’s difficult to understand when all 3 are talking at once.

I have been looking for a book club to participate in for years and just cannot find one. This fills that hole for me. I always feel like I’m sitting down with friends when I listen to the books I’m reading/have read. I look forward to these episodes!

I tried liking it, their voices are actually enjoyable to listen to.
But they lost me with all the negativity.
I just started reading fantasy, so had heard of podcasts about these genre, decided to give them a try.
Don’t get how they are fans of the books they discuss, but sure like to pick them apart and complain a lot about the characters storylines or author’s choices.
Yes, you can definitely have deep critique on stories, but their delivery feels too mean girls at times.
Could not enjoy it with all the mean negativity.
