Kaytee and Meredith are a wonderful duo to listen to. They are smart readers, who read great books, and discuss them well on the show. I love that they share a wide range of books, describe them enough without spoiling anything, and continue to put out great episodes every week. They have delightful guest hosts in Mary and Mindy, who also are well read, smart women. I love this show so much I also support them on Patreon. There is something for every reader on the Currently Reading Podcast!
