impressively thorough, long-running, & responsive

only a few episodes in but the fact that they're 3 years into the project and still discussing book 2 should give you a sense of the scope. I particularly enjoy the hosts' openness to feedback and discussions of listener theories. hoping they bring on guests with more diverse perspectives to discuss some of Wolfe's more problematic characterizations down the line.

Highly recommended.

This podcast is very well produced, well-paced, & both hilarious & profound. For those of us who too easily get lost in the sheer density of Wolfe’s books, ReReading Wolfe offers a blessed clarity & further reflection.
