It would help if Ms. Stanford would stop interrupting herself when she embarks on a thought to add side observations. Mr. Banks has occasional insights but sounds really pretentious. Also they occasionally talk over one another which makes listening difficult.

Amazing!

Just listened to How to Read Shakespeare my first podcast of theirs and it was amazing! Since I’m a teen who loves to read this is right up my alley! I’ve been wanting to dive into Shakespeare but have wanted a little guidance on it. This was perfect! I would recommend this to anyone who loves books, Christianity, and just chat about literature! I’m definitely going to listen to more of their podcasts! It rocks!!!

Best Podcast Ever!!!!!!!!

I love this podcast!!! As a teen reader this has added so much to my knowledge that I usually don’t find in my peers. It’s insightful, funny, Christian, down to earth yet elevating! Any time spent listening to these fine folks is not time lost; far from it! I pray that it will enhance your life as it has mine. God Bless You!!!!!

Thanks

Love the idea but the delivery is excruciating. Ms. Stanford constantly goes from this to that. When Mr banks chimes in, her response is constantly ok- wait for it. She must say this twenty times per episode. Anyone listening to this podcast is intelligent and truly wants to learn. I believe she has good information to share, but she really need some guidance in delivery and would probably be better to do this podcast solo
