Will use

I am often looking for a new listen and don't know where to start in Audible's vast library. In fact it was one of the things that put me off joining for a while. The format is just a regular pod cast with guests. Personally I liked the section where they go in to the current titles and highlight a book you might not know about.
I do hope in all future pods you will remain honest and not just say nice stuff because that's really not helpful. If possible, could there be a "You heard it here first" section on the open page so I don't have to try to remember the books talked about?

Helpful and down to earth!

Imriel brings the voice of the people to Audible. She conveys a variety of perspectives on a diverse array of books. The show is really helpful in selecting my next read. I’d love to hear some themes shows in future. Science Fiction FTW!

Varied and interesting suggestions

I am audiobook obsessed and am always looking for new books and podcasts to listen to. I've added a fair few suggestions to my library from listening to this.

I had to rewind a few times to catch the title and author for some, so it would be great if they were listed under the podcast.

love the idea of the show

but sorry I cannot stand one of the presenters annoying accent, she says "Bridish" rather than British, " liddle" instead of little, "empathedic" instead of empathic.

so that in the end I had to stop listening before the end of the series. anything that makes me shout at my phone and want to punch myself in the ears is a no from me.
