Could have listened to them for HOURS!

Though a wee bit new on the podcast scene (most of my listening time is spent 'reading' books, lol), this brand new podcast was not only right up my alley, but soooo worth my time! I mean who doesn't LOVE SJP! The only thing that may suffer from this podcast is my burgeoning TBR list!!!

Amazing podcast!

Adriana is so wonderful at hosting these discussions around such important topics. This last one was so powerful and moving. I have yet to read Isabel Allende's books, but I'm starting right now after listening to Isabel's experiences. I think I would love her writing. Thank you, Adriana, for opening our eyes, ears, and hearts to these rich stories and admirable people you interview!

Wonderful podcast series

I too am new to the podcast scene. Almost all of my time spend “reading” these days is via Audible. Life is crazy busy and I appreciate the accessibility of multitasking every day life while listening to books. There are just soooo many wonderful books out there and never enough hours in a day to read.

Adri is one of my all time favorite authors so why not listen to her podcast? In fact, this is my very first podcast series and I enjoy it immensely. She doesn’t “interview” her guests but rather has a genuine discussion between friends about books and life. I look forward to each download!
