Every book we cover, in one place.

We work through 102 books the slow way — a chapter at a time, in our own words, sorted by subject, a new episode every day. We talk about what the chapter argues, where we think it is right and where it isn't; we don't read the books out to you. The episodes are free and always will be. If a show makes you want the actual book, this is the shelf. Buying it here is the single cheapest way to support the podcast: it costs you nothing extra and it keeps the next 1,600 episodes coming.

Press play on any cover. Every book on this page has a sixty-second clip lifted straight out of its first episode — a real bit of the conversation, not a trailer. Hear one before you decide.
