"The magic is in the hosts, their differences, and their extremely wholesome friendship. Ok, but seriously. Without Kristen I probably wouldn’t listen to this podcast. Hell, there might not even be a podcast. She brings a scientific Yin to Jolenta’s effervescent Yang."

Keith McArthur • My Instruction Manual Jun 10, 2017

"Jolenta and Kristen approach the self-help genre with differing attitudes, which creates the tension that makes the podcasts fun. The By The Book Podcast is a fun way to learn about important books in the self-help cannon and will appeal both to those who embrace the genre as well as more skeptical listeners."
