Discovering a great new podcast is one of life’s simple joys, and The Personal Element is exactly that — a joyful discovery. Even if the essay being read isn’t one I would necessarily seek out on my own, I still find myself thoroughly enjoying each and every one. Hearing someone discuss something they’re passionate about really is a gift, and Tavi and Christine never disappoint! This podcast makes me feel like I’m part of a book club, but one I can join on my own schedule. Amazing! Thank you for keeping me company, and thank you for making me want to get back into the beautiful world of reading.

This is a great new podcast from two writers, featuring lively discussions about published essays. Often intriguing, always engaging, and totally addicting. Can’t wait wait for the next episode!
