I can only really recommend listening to these if you’ve already read the books since it serves as like a replacement to a group discussion afterwards. It’s not bad with that in mind. Second issue would be some of the other guests aren’t insightful and it kinda’ feels like the main host just grabbed some people so he had enough people for a podcast. They’re also really long., 17 episodes with a minimum length of 90 minutes, usually more.
