Our Editor's Take

The Book Fix podcast began when two reading nerds met up to discuss their passion. Yajaira and Cheli are best friends in real life. They enjoy spending their time chatting about novels. They like dissecting characters' journeys and pointing out their literary crushes. They revel in complaining about disappointing endings and plot inconsistencies. It was natural for them to start a podcast. They use it to immortalize their conversations. They've also built a supportive reading community in the process. The chemistry between Yajaira and Cheli is evident, too.

Each episode of The Book Fix podcast focuses on one piece of work. The hosts give their uncensored opinions of the book. Yajaira and Cheli scrutinize every plot device and agonize over the protagonist's decisions. They explain why they find some characters captivating and others annoying. They share their entertaining yet inquisitive banter. This curious tone leads to enjoyable, engaging, and unexpected book analysis.

The genres Yajaira and Cheli enjoy discussing usually sit within pop culture. Many novels that receive film or TV series adaptations will find their way into the podcast at some point. For example, the novels in the Bridgerton series and anything that Jenny Han has ever written get air time. This provides the hosts with the fun opportunity to compare the book to the screen version. They see where the movie went right and where it completely destroyed the original story.

While many of The Book Fix episodes explore novels, some discuss TV shows and movies. The stories examined don't always originate from a book. Examples include The Last of Us and Netflix's Stranger Things. The common theme in these episodes is the way the hosts use their analyzing skills. They examine character development, the logic in the plot, and, of course, the ending.

The hosts of The Book Fix provide an extensive investigation of each creation. Their bookish enthusiasm is contagious. But it never gets too serious. Some episodes even focus on enjoying adult beverages while reading. The podcast releases new episodes several times per month.
