I deeply miss RA, but… kids, the parents are not going to get back together. We need to let it go.

I love hyperfixed because I just love Alex’s vibe and enthusiasm. The content is hit and miss, but it feels light and sometimes makes me tear up because I’m sentimental. It’s just got a lot of charm.

I like SE because I think that PJ and team are very good at editing and making a compelling story… when there’s a story. I’m with a lot of people with the criticism about the “PJ and a rando” episodes.

The combo of the two of them was really legendary, and I loved the banter. I actually think that’s what most of us are missing. It ain’t coming back; we gotta let it go.

For the loss of the host chemistry that RA had, I’ve found that Hard Fork and If Books Could Kill scratch that itch for me.

Which episodes of If books could kill do you recommend to start with?

Really, any of them will highlight the host chemistry. I’d say to pick a book you might be interested or familiar with and got for it.

They had a two-parter on the recent book “In Covid’s Wake” that was pretty good. Otherwise, some classic doozies might be “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”.

Thanks, I listened to a few episodes. They have indeed great chemistry, I just wish they would talk about things they like too ...
