Unique!

I LOVE comedy and I occasionally love reading a good book. Never thought I’d find a podcast that combines both those passions! This is a fascinating listen!

Country273 ,

Great Idea for a podcast!

I have just finished listening to my first episode of Comics’ Books and I am definitely coming back for more! Lucy Danser is a great interviewer and I love the topic. I’ve taken notes of books I want to look for and am looking forward to listening to everything else she has to offer. Laura Lexx and Lucy were so delightful to listen to. Great podcast!
