Customer Reviews
Gave it a second listen
At first I did not like this podcast but came back and listened to more recent episodes including the most recent about Trumps book end enjoyed these episodes much more. If you don’t enjoy the early episodes skip ahead and give it another try. Looking forward to the Biden episode and whatever follows.
Great Book Recs
I am a woman, and I love this podcast!
Erik talks about himself and his family, and if you can relate to that, then you will probably also enjoy the books he reviews favorably. I have read some books based on his recommendations and enjoyed them all.
And the music is fire!
Great Podcast
I enjoy listening and learning from these podcasts as I go on walks or mow the lawn. He reviews books that I otherwise would not read and I glean insight and wisdom from the reviews. Very nuanced and enjoyable for me. Thanks for doing these.
