Love reading but hate making decisions? Hate reading and prefer for two completely unqualified critics to fill you in instead? Just generally stuck in a reading rut? Paradoxically all three? This podcast is for you. Join us in letting the universe decide our literary fates, leading us down paths we’d never choose on our own. It’s a journey to broaden our tastes and horizons and you never know where we might end up. Whether it’s a western, mystery, romance or sci-fi, the results are sometimes thoughtful, often funny, and always surprising.
