Booked is a weekly podcast where two avid readers review and discuss books, conduct author interviews, and make recommendations for good books they’ve read.

“Our goal is to deliver book reviews by everyday readers, for everyday readers.
Diverse
: We strive to strike a balance between reviewing books with large readership, and independent or small press books that don’t benefit from the publicity that comes with a large publishing house.
Fresh and New
: We review timely books. We’re always looking for recent or soon-to-be released books to review. We consider books of any genre a possible review – as long as our listeners can find and buy them.
Interaction and Community
: In addition to reviews, we do author interview episodes, as well as open format episodes where we discuss topics our listeners suggest online. Using social media, we do book giveaways and share interesting book-related articles and discussions.”
