Fun reading couple
This is a fun podcast that gives a different perspective, as you hear both from a young wife and husband about what they’re reading separately and together. You can tell they have a loving, warm relationship, and it’s fun to hear them discuss books they both read. Curtis also has a different type of book list from what I hear on most podcasts (leadership books, spy thrillers, war stories). Unfortunately for us, the podcast is either on hiatus or done for good, as of 2022. The couple had a baby in the fall of 2021 and Chelsey is also co-host of another podcast (Novel Pairings), so I’m not sure if this podcast is coming back.

I love this podcast
Chelsea and Curtis are so fun to listen to. They give me excellent ideas for my TBR for sure. But they obviously enjoy their bookish relationship. They are kind and respectful to each other and also have great senses of humor about their differences in taste. Honestly they are as much role models for how to treat people you love as they are reading role models. I love listening to them.

Interesting Ordinary Couple
This podcast is a pleasure because it feels like I’m hanging out with neighbors. Chelsey and Curtis aren’t booksellers or authors; they’re just a couple who like to read broadly and then talk about the books. There aren’t enough podcasts with regular guys, which is another bonus

So much book fun!
I love this podcast! They are so cute together, and I love how they both have similar but also very different book tastes. I only just found this a week or so ago, and did a binge listen. I just love it!! Everyone should check it out, especially if you like books! My TBR pile has grown exponentially!

My TBR List Keeps Growing
I really enjoy the variety of topics discussed, and I love getting recommendations for books in all kinds of genres. They already read a lot of books I love, so I feel like I can trust their recommendations. Keep it up!

Wonderful book podcast
I really enjoy the banter of Curtis and Chelsea. Each episode provides so much interesting perspective on a variety of books since Curtis and Chelsea's interests don't directly match up. This leaves me with tons of book recommendations and I really appreciate that.

Loving the podcast!
I am always on the lookout for a podcast to get more (and more) TBR suggestions. The hosts of this podcast are great to listen to, are always having a great time, even if they don’t like the books they are reviewing, and really are able to discuss their reading in a super fun way. I always look forward to when their podcast jumps up to the top of my library when a new one gets released.

Love the easy conversation flow
A couple of months ago I started listening to podcasts at work. I started to look for book ones and came across this one. I enjoy the book feedback and overall flow of the conversations. By listening to some episodes I got book recommendations that normally I would not think of reading. I enjoy listening to each episode and have been trying to play catch up on them.

No more “ums” please
Great content but the constant use of “um” is distracting and frankly, annoying. I judt can’t continue listening.

Great Podcast for Book Lovers!
I love listening to these two.

My favorite podcast!
Curtis and Chelsey are just the best. They have thought-provoking, easy to listen to conversations, and I always look forward to a new episode. I love how they put a strategic spin on everyday things... like strategy for a used bookstore date.
My husband and I are even starting up Song of Achilles as our first buddy read. Thanks for encouraging us to make reading together part of our relationship!
I so appreciate all the hard work you put into He Read She Read, and I hope there’s no end in sight for your content! Thanks again, guys!

Review first ann.
Love to listen to this couple chat about books and their reading habits. Sadly, my spouse is not a reader so I am living the dream vicariously through them. Congrats on your first anniversary and here’s to many more!

One of my favorites podcasts!
Any bookish podcast usually brings me joy, but He Read She Read is far and away my favorite. The dynamic between the two hosts is hilarious and adorable and the topics they choose never fail to pique my interest. Would highly recommend to anyone who’s a lover of all things books!

Love this podcast! Cozy and fun!
I look forward to it every Tuesday. :) It’s the perfect podcast for sipping coffee or going on a brisk morning walk! Very bright and sweet. The book recommendations are great- love the differences in reading taste and the suggestions. If you haven’t already, definitely subscribe!

Perfect Book Talk!
I’ve been listening to HeReadSheRead for about a year and love to save a few episodes and binge with a big cup of coffee, while working on mindless tasks.
I appreciate the Packers love as a fellow Midwesterner... and that they balance contemporary and classics in their podcasts. I also appreciate that Chelsea unashamedly reads romance and I am here for that. Basically, this is filled with perfect book talk and a necessity for any bookworm’s ears.

Enjoying the bookish banter
Listening to Curtis and Chelsey discuss books together, and give book recommendations is very entertaining. I am an avid reader and love listening to book discussions. They even throw in screen recommendations too.
mominchrist
Good bookish podcast
I like this duo. I don’t always want to read the books they talk about, but they’re still fun and interesting to listen to. I wait to listen to the buddy read episodes until I’ve read the book if it’s one that’s on my TBR.

It’s good!
I feel like my reading style is sort of slightly adjacent or between what Curtis and Chelsea enjoy. I feel there are many times I’m excited when they start talking about a book but then it turns out to not be quite my vibe. I’m Definitely a more sensitive reader than they are, haha. Having said that I always move them towards the top of my podcast queue and I’ve definitely added things to my TBR.

A great bookish podcast!
I first heard Chelsey and Curtis on the What Should I Read Next podcast and immediately subscribed to their own reading podcast. I love their chemistry and find myself laughing along with them. Their recommendations are always on pointe and provide a mix of popular must-reads and books I might have missed from years ago.
Curtis’s on-going Love/hate relationship with Star Wars/Disney gives me life!

Overflowing with adorableness
I love the chemistry between these two! Talk about marriage goals! I love listening to both of their recommendations, tips and tricks, thoughts in their monthly buddy reads, and more. If you are looking for a feel-good podcast with great book recommendations, He Read, She Read is for you.

So Fun
I love the variety of things that they read and discuss, as well as how open they are about whether or not they actually like a book.
Plus, they’re just charming. :)

Great, Diverse Reading
I think the thing I love the most about this podcast is how they diversely Curtis and Chelsea read. Rather than being another podcast that’s only talking about front list titles, they really delve into a wide variety of books across many genres. Love the repartee they have with each other.

The Listener that Checks Out This Podcast Will Come Away With Great Books to Read
I was first introduced to He Read, She Read in Anne Bogel’s podcast What Should I Read Next and have finally made my way through all of the past episodes to the present. A goal of mine for 2019 has been to broaden my reading horizon and Curtis and Chelsey have helped with their reading recommendations and different points of view.

highly recommend!
so happy i stumbled upon this podcast! after listening to a couple of recent episodes (& snagging a few new-to-me books to add to my want-to-read list), i’m now going back to catch up from the beginning!
@alyonkazphotofrenzy
The couple that reads together...
Love their witty banter and all the talk about books. Love their outro saying, “the couple that reads together... and something different every time. They are a couple that I’d love to meet and reminds me of myself and my wife! Keep up the great work Curtis and Chelsea!!
JoshScarbrough
Great podcast
I am an avid reader so I am always looking for book recommendations. I love getting both Curtis and Chelsea’s perspectives on the buddy reads and other books they are reading. The banter between the couple is so cute and it is evident they love each other as much as they love reading. I have a much longer TBR list thanks to this podcast but there are worse problems to have.

Love this couple
Goals! Couples who read together stay together!! Love love their chemistry with ex other and books. I have discovered different books based off their podcast. Best of luck guys on your love this month!

An informative and fun podcast
This is a great podcast, which I found after hearing Curtis and Chelsey on Anne Bogel’s podcast. I love Curtis and Chelsey’s discussions- they are smart and witty and filled with discussions of interesting books. They clearly enjoy books and each other. I like their two perspectives - military officer and literature student/teacher- seemingly different but their perspectives are interesting and mesh well.
