    The Currently Reading Podcast

    Currently Reading is a weekly book podcast for people who want honest book recommendations and a smarter way to choose their next read. Every Monday, hosts Meredith and Kaytee talk through the books they are currently reading and share spoiler-free book reviews across every genre.

    They will help you figure out what to read next, and their signature “Reader Know Thyself” approach goes deeper, helping you understand your own reading taste so your TBR finally works for you.

    Light on the chit-chat, heavy on the book talk.

    Ad-free, and proudly supporting independent bookstores always. New episodes every Monday.
