Secret Life of Books - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I am so pleased to have finally found a smart and interesting podcast about classic books. The background information and perspective being provided by the hosts for each book is engaging and well-researched. It’s fun yet still serious. I am grateful this podcast exists!

If you love books, you’ll love this podcast. I love the background info and context Sophie and Jonty share. Their opinions and critiques are witty and insightful. What truely makes this podcast excellent is the rapport the hosts have, it’s warm, funny and stokes my interest every time.

This podcast is like a friend who makes you feel smarter, wittier, and more sophisticated. And probably a little more beautiful because of it too. It’s really excellent. Wish I’d been able to listen to this when I was first reading these books as a student.

As I begin to dip in to classics in retirement I have found this podcast a perfect wrap up . I have also added to my book stack based on the episodes available.
