Very disappointed that you have taken out all the old episodes. I have a shared subscription and can only see the latest 3 episodes. Hope you can reconsider this decision.
What the heck

Subscription only now? Really? I kind of enjoyed listening to get book recs and bc I love books but there are people out here doing amazing podcasts for free yet a big corporation like NYT is going to have mediocre to decent podcast have to pay for? Not trying to spend money on nyt who is a media corporation who has skewed journalism (just look up headlines on the war in Iraq or Gaza and how nyt is treating those atrocities or white washing the killings of POC) yeah not cool to make this a subscription only
Go Back to Old (Better) Format

I used to look forward to new episodes every Friday, but this new format has left me with months of back episodes. If I haven’t read a book, why would I listen to a book club on it, or an episode about novel assuming I’ve read it. The old format was amazing and made me actually seek out books to read. These retrospective episodes or discussions that contain spoilers aren’t something I can listen to regularly. Also, GC is a terrible interviewer and host. Let Tina Jordan do it! She’s always a delight, and she knows what she’s talking about. I can’t imagine you’ve gained listeners since the format changed.
In depth

I thought this was a wonderful, in depth review of one of the world’s great books. It took me three or four times listening to the review to get used to some of the sing song voices of the reviewers. Some of the sing song voices sounded as if they were reading Rather than speaking. It may be related to the way some people inflect upward, as if they are asking you a question at the end of every sentence.
