An excellent resource that’s fun to listen to
I love listening to these reviews and the sheer joy that the host and guests share for this Format. I’ve been introduced to narrators I’ve never heard before and have discovered must listen audiobooks.

Make it part of your morning routine!
I’ve been listening to his show since it’s started. While I continue to enjoy it, I’m beginning to detect an air of elitism, particularly with the host. She will often dismiss non-professional narrators (often the authors themselves) as “annoying” or some variation of that. I think it’s important to embrace the human qualities of the diverse voices we hear before the publishers decide the only “perfect” performance is AI-generated.

Sound meter issues
Love the show, but the volume of the speakers is irratic. Not only do the different speakers seem to be set at different sound levels; the same speaker can fade from quiet to loud, as though the speaker is moving her head away from and toward the microphone. Given the title of the podcast, I find the sound production especially annoying.

I find that I rarely need to listen an episode as of late. A good read can no longer be determined based upon the book’s content. Nay, but it must have the “Woke/Cancel Culture Approved” label affixed.

New to audiobook world
About a year ago I started listening to audiobooks on my way to work and once I found this podcast it opened my world to so many new books. I’ve love that they cover many genres and have gotten some great ideas for the young folks in my life too. Keep up the great work!

I love this podcast! As others have said before me, short, to the point and with a sample to hear the narrator’s voice and a bit of the story.

Audiofile Magazine does a great job of reviewing audiobooks, and this podcast is a great way to highlight a few of them. Short and to the point, with a brief clip from the audiobook. Excellent!

Help choosing your next listen
I love the brevity of these episodes which give you a snippet of a book, the narrator’s strengths, and plot, all of which help you choose your next audiobook.

Show Content Good, Audio Bad
Format, content and pace of the show is good but the audio is awful to the point of being distracting and a tune-out. I would have expected a higher quality given its a production by Audiofile.

Best audiobook recommendations!
If you're in doubt for what to choose as your next listen, AudioFile magazine is a wonderful resource. Audiobooks are not cheap (nor should they be) and you want honest, educated recommendations to help you make your choice. AudioFile reviewers work hard to provide honest, thorough reviews. Not all reviews are good, not all are bad, but they are candid. Added bonuses are behind-the-scenes interviews with authors, narrators and other audiobook industry professionals.
