My ultimate comfort podcast! Warm, hilarious, accessible, charming, and unbelievably delightful! I’ve listened to every episode dozens of times and I turn to this podcast whenever I’m having a bad day because I know it will always make me smile and laugh. Marlon and Jake are amazing hosts and I love their passion and enthusiasm for literature. I hope new episodes will be released soon!

As experts in the publishing industry and total book lovers, Marlon and Jake have great takes about books we were supposed to love but don’t. By limiting themselves to books written by authors who have died, they stay in a safe space of not hurting anyone’s feelings. At worst they yuck our yum. Through fun conversations, they really define what makes us love certain books, what makes the industry like certain books, and what makes readers like certain books. It’s the kind of honesty we don’t always get.

Adore this show. Absolutely. The trouble comes when they try to talk about children’s & YA books. Put simply, they have no idea what they’re talking about. Jake just merrily discussed The Giver without pausing to wonder if Lowry is still alive. It also made me laugh to hear that they don’t think there are any children’s dystopias. The Last Kids On Earth alone dispels that theory. Great show but stay in your lane, fellas.

I enjoy the banter between the two hosts so much that I have re-listened to all the episodes 3+ times. Definitely my favorite podcast about books.

Please come back with a new season. We need you!

It is embarrassing.
Just talk about *all* the books.
These two are a great pair with natural chemistry and a deep love and knowledge of literature.
They speak of books with the erudition, humor, and love that you hope you can convey to your own friends.
But! The ridiculous artificiality of only talking about dead authors means they wind up circling the same authors and topics time and again, and frequently self-censoring when they clearly want to speak about a contemporary author.
So embarrassing.
Just talk about literature in general like the professionals you are.
This would be an easy 5-Star Must Listen podcast for lovers of literature, if it wasn’t for their self-censoring.
