Audiobook lovers unite

An informative, enjoyable, and relaxing podcast all about audiobooks. I particularly love their group discussions, which feel like intimate conversations between audiobook-loving friends.

Spoiler-free

Love the thoughtful discussions that spark my interest in a book, while always remaining carefully spoiler-free. That's a tough balance to find, and they do it really well. I've picked up several things to read on their recommendation and I've never been disappointed. Keep up the good work!

I've long been a detractor of audiobooks, not considering it really *reading*. But this show makes me question that stance. Check it out, folks!
