Honestly I feel like the "quality" of the books as material has been trending downwards the past year or so. I still check in and try every episode but I'm finding myself dropping a lot of them part way through. There's only so much one can say about awful fantasy character names, bog standard bigotry, boring characters, and I feel like that's all been said. They're just not bad in any way that's particularly remarkable. This has been especially true for me where the book has been picked because it's popular or has a notable author, like The Maze Runner or Palo Alto. Also I know this has been discussed to death but I wish they'd shy away from things that are more offensive than they are weird. Its an important thing to tackle and I agree with their views 99% of the time but I listen on my commute and getting angry isn't a great start to my day or a great way to unwind after work. Edit: For what it's worth, the patreon episodes are often really good, there's so much fun material outside of the world of books that are bad, and the hosts sound a lot more like they're enjoying themselves which is always good for a positive listening experience.

I wonder if a slower schedule would help? Might allow for longer, more interesting books (and fewer duds) and for it absorbing less of their lives overall.
