    Stupid premise.
    Run.
  • stenellalong
    Excellent show
    This is a good blend of recommendations and discussions with authors or others in the romance genre or podcast world. I look forward to listening to the episode each week.
  • Neil Plakcy
    Love to listen
    Jeff and Will are so charming and I love their interviews. They ask interesting questions and their voices are so friendly that I could listen forever.
  • Happy Listening Walker
    Wonderful, charming, funny podcast
    Jeff and Will are enthusiastic and intelligent readers and writers of romance, so their interviews are clever, interesting, and always charming and fun to listen to. I learn about books I wouldn't have encountered otherwise, and I always come away from an episode having learned about a new book or author, or a new way of looking at the mm romance genre. They're witty and ebullient, and their love of the genre and each other and their community make this podcast a joy to listen to. Cannot more highly recommend.

    Finally "get" the podcast obsession
    I have spent years hearing people talk about their podcast obsessions and I tried listening to all kinds - science, true crime, books, Sherlock Holmes, all my interests. Never got through a complete episode of any of them. Then, somehow stumbled on this one this weekend and have done nothing but binge listen as I have gone about my day. So excited to see there were 194 episodes of goodness to get through! Love their book recommendations - by TBR pile is increasing by leaps and bounds. They are the best interviewers of authors I have heard. They ask all the questions a fan would want to ask and also have the broad background to ask those questions we didn't know we wanted to. You can tell they have read the books they talk about. A top notch production all around, complete with all the information you need to find the books and the authors' websites and social media accounts.

    Awesome
    This is amazing. Thank you for showing pride and making me laugh

    almost no gay fiction discussed
    Although it's two guys talking about 'gay' fiction, it almost all about women who write "m/m" romance stories. Imagine if you were promised a discussion of "African-American fiction", and it was (unironically!) about books by white folks. Really disappointing.
  • Spoon Slayer
    Charming
    Such a sweet and charming podcast, always uplifting the boys are fun to listen do and give great interview.

    A Must Listen in you love reading Romance
    I discovered this podcast last spring, and now I don't miss a week. Each week Jeff and Will recount Jeff's progress on his latest novel, and how their lives are going. This often includes pop culture, the TV and movies they've seen. After the this update, Jeff and Will both review the books they have read and loved. Every week they feature and interview with someone they respect. They only interview authors of books they love, podcasters they listen to, and independent creators of TY Series and movies they watch. Jeff and Will are so personable that I feel like I have known them forever. Thanks to this podcast, I have discovered new-to-me authors and added more books to my Calibre library and my ereader.
  • Katie Patrick
    Love the content and the guys are just great!
    I discovered this podcast a few weeks ago and have since downloaded every episode and I am working my way through them each day. Jeff and Will are so funny and seem to be really nice guys. I love their take on not just the books they read but also about the writting process without making it seem as though I am in a lecture hall. They have some great interviews with both authors and other industry peeps and I am learning a lot about a genre of fiction that I have only recently discoverd and found to really love. Love, Love, Love these guys and can't wait to hear more!!
  • LuckyLindey
    Unique and exactly what I wanted
    I just found the show about a week ago, and have been listening to all the back episodes. The hosts are great to listen to, and offer reviews for gay fiction in various mediums, much of which I would never have found without the recommendations. Glad there's a podcast out there that covers this topic. Thanks, guys!
  • CoastalSatyr
    Keeps Me Up to Date
    I have found some wonderful authors & books thanks to these two. Highly recommended!
  • Jesilea
    Big fan!
    Jeff & Will have great personalities for podcasting. I love listening to their banter. The interviews with my favorite authors are always entertaining. And I like that they include TV and movies in wit the books. Keep it up guys!
  • Amytasukada
    awesome
    I really enjoy listening to these guys! Very fun and intereting. I love all the author interviews
  • Jenna Hale
    Brand new listener, quite fun to listen to
    I just started with the Rainbow Book Fair episode since I'm familiar with some of the authors that were there. I quite enjoyed the episode and look forward to listening to more. I'm always on the lookout for well written fiction (and movies and TV) so it's great to hear Jeff & Will's thoughts on things they've read/watched.
  • Emartin328
    Love this podcast
    I listen to this every week and I love it. Look forward to it every week.
  • AJ Truman
    Great way to start the week!
    I've found myself looking forward to Mondays now because of Jeff and Will's show. I love that there's a podcast about gay fiction hosted by two passionate readers. The show is filled with interesting interviews and a peek behind the mm publishing curtain. It's both delightful and insightful. Podcast on, guys!
