In the episode that we checked out, the conversations roll on about books — JM Coetzee’s Disgrace, Into Thin Ice by Jon Krakauer and many other titles that engage the listeners. The charm of the podcast is the fact that the hosts are knowledgeable about the books and their opinions are solid in their own right. While other podcasts with similar themes tend to stray away from the topic within reason, these hosts continue drinking through the course of the show while sticking to the conversation at hand.

 The hosts have managed to keep with a heady (pun intended) mix of facts and history about the books and the authors under consideration. This podcast feels more like a hilarious recap of a book among friends than a pretentious book club discussing serious and scholarly views. The podcast scores in that it is about the idea of bringing books to a cross-section of readers, panning varied genres. The breakdown of each book is peppered with humour, laughter, raunchiness and careful thought.
