Customer Reviews
Still good but room for improvement
I still find smart and interesting discussions here but I miss news from the publishing world and especially miss hearing what people at the Books desk are reading,
New format
New format seems to get a lot of flack but I like it well enough 🤷♂️
disappointed
I agree with the many recent reviews about the downhill slide of this podcast. I keep waiting for the NYT to respond to their long term followers and make some changes. They could start by replacing Cruz.
