I always enjoy the interactions between the hosts. They make my day better. Plus I learn about writers and books from diverse settings.

I am a reader of both these guys’ books, but I would enjoy listening to them regardless. They are so amiably snarky and just plain interesting. I haven’t been listening in order, but jump around according to my mood and who their guest is. And those guests! If you like crime fiction, there’s something here for you.

These two are great fun to listen to as they talk about their favourite movies, books and misc. They are great interviewers and have interesting guests.

The funniest crime fiction podcast I’ve come across.

...because they have me laughing out loud during my walks to class/work/wherever. Another reviewer called this podcast vibrant, and I’d have to agree. It’s a breath of fresh air in the middle of my otherwise dour mix of true crime, politics, and more “serious” writing shows. The hosts are great, interviews are always interesting, and I want to adopt Mum as my own! My one complaint might be the intro music, but I’ve decided it’s so bad that it’s actually quite good. 👍🏻👍🏻

This podcast is on point and brilliant - love it! The interviews are great, I’ve added many more books to my “to read” list, and I laugh my way to and from work. It will get upgraded to 5 stars if/when the recording quality gets a little better. The change in volume between segments and background echo means I’m constantly having to adjust the volume. I don’t mind when it catches Abir’s mum’s comments though!

I gave it 5 stars as it was very different and vibrant - I feel as the get more experienced working together on the podcast it’s going to get even better!

Good energy. Visiting with two fun pals with interesting things on their minds. I love their detectives in their series’s. They call other writers. Tiny nudge: Dig deeper in your interviews. More details from your excellent guests: more bio. Typical writing day? Describe where they write. More about their detective’s personalities.how they are inspired. Put Abirs mom on mike.
