    What is this?
    I thought this was going to be a podcasts about book reviews not shallow political propaganda. Skip it if you actually want to learn something or use your brain
  • TeejusHere

    Awful Host
    Host does not realize that he needs to ask questions & let the guests respond. I had the misfortune of listening to the Frankenstein by Mary Shelly podcast. Host could not stop talking & interrupting the guest. She was the expert NOT him. Dude, shut up !!
  • smokiwik
    Terrific!
    This is my favorite podcast. It’s really well balanced, in that the discussions are substantive but the attitude is fun and light. Love it that there is a different guest each time, and the guests choose the book to be discussed, so there is a sympathy and enthusiasm that makes it a pleasure to listen.

    Ugh Jane Eyre!!! One of my favorite books, this podcast makes me so happy ❤️
    I was a literature major at Berkeley and I absolutely love to be able to hear discussions of my favorite books without the destructive post-modern materialist lens. Thank you ❤️

    Reviewing with an Agenda
    I thought I was going in for a book analysis. Instead I was fed a political agenda that borderlines delusional. Not a fan.
  • MGThill
    Atlas Shrugged
    Great summary! Love the book club!

    Middlemarch Episode
    I absolutely loved the Middlemarch episode with Heather MacDonald. I happened to read the novel this fall and listening to this discussion was a delight! I will definitely listen to more episodes, especially if Heather makes another appearance!

    A middle schoolers rushed book report
    This is what happens when you grow up hearing people tell you you’re smart, and then you actually start talking and that Illusion quickly disappears.

    Knowles knows
    He’s the debonair, educated conservative you wish you were. Learn about the great works of western civilization and you too can become debonair and educated.

    1984
    Love 1984
  • Chaim K.

    Love the episode on Galileo Galilei!
  • #JesusSaves!!
    Once a month just isn’t enough!
    Love, love, love! Intelligent, insightful and fun! Thank you for helping us rediscover the joy and deep need for classic literature!
  • Brittany R. Brewer
    Awesome!
    I have always wanted to join a book club. I finally found this and I could not be happier. They are very insightful and fun!

    So good, yet so short!
    The books and guests are wonderful, but these segments are painfully short. These books deserve more time. Please Michael, we want long-form podcasts, especially for subject matter like this!
  • Pondering barred owl
    Great show
    Like the book selection and guests

    If you are seeking a respite from pathetic attempts to properly review literature, you have found it in the Book Club. The book selections are diverse and the reviews bring a depth that may be overlooked. This scholarship is interwoven with pleasant humor and a sense of mutual respect between Michael Knowles and his guests.

    Very informative and entertaining
    This Book Club is a joy to listen to. I was never much of a reader but this club has sparked an interest I never knew I had. Thanks to Prager U, Mr. Knowls and his wonderful guests!

    The joys of reading
    I love to read. As of November 2020 I have completed 230 books this year. Book clubs have always held some interest for me but I never really found one that fit well. I think this book club will do nicely!!! Some of the books I have read and some have been on my tbr list for awhile. Thank you so much!
  • Beegee ell
    Reading list
    I keep buying and reading the books discussed by this podcast. My eyes have been opened. Thank you.
  • J_Everett
    Good books in a 1/2 hr
    I’ve liked the episodes I had watched, but don’t have time to watch. I wish they had plugged this podcast a bit harder. If you want to update your audible reading list, this is the place to go for suggestions.
  • Big_Lumpy
    So excited for the book club
    I actually watch all of the PragerU, Book Club episodes on YouTube. Thanks for being honest American Patriots. 🇺🇸

    📚❤️📖
    I love books, and I love Michael Knowles talking about them! I’ve already added all these titles to my TBR list. Can’t wait for the next show!
  • Annie J
    Love this show!
    This is always a good listen, but especially the one on 1984. Worth a listen.
  • Stufamily
    Great, but no updates
    I love this show and particularly enjoy listening to the podcast version, so I can download it and hear it anytime. However, the newest talk never uploaded. I’ve been waiting almost a month!
  • keit91
    Great Show
    It’s nice to hear an intellectual discussion and tease my appetite for something highbrow
  • Conner L B
    Great show
    This show is full of great insight into the literary world. You can’t go wrong with any book discussed here. Great work Michael Knowles!

    Knowles Strike Gold Again
    Once again Michael Knowles shows himself to be king of the podcast airwaves. Now as the host of three separate and varied podcasts, he is likely the most prolific broadcaster as well as the most successful author. This podcast, as well as his others are impossible to over recommend.
  • CheckpointC
    You can learn here.
    The level and tone here is good for listening. There is enough information for you to understand if yo want to study the topic more. Thank you.
  • Rach-ella
    I love this.
    I love books and smart people to discuss them with. I feel like I am in on this discussion. Thanks guys. I read Pride and Prejudice right before this came out. It was perfect.
  • samibonita
    Yay for Austen!
    Fantastic topic for the latest installment of The Book Club! I didn’t think it was possible to love Michael Knowles more...then I heard him praise Jane Austen! 🥰
  • Dloog
    Thank you!
    More please.
  • CMarie2013
    Great way to establish a solid reading list
    I love the way this podcast can 1)give great recommendations for good reads and 2)give engaging discussion. Highly recommended for avid or beginner readers.
  • Chocolateotto
    You might not find these books in your public library so....listen up!
    I visiting my public library yesterday and could not find a copy of the Federalist Papers or a single copy of Histories by Herodotus, but plenty of books prominently on display about how deranged and “dangerous” our current President is. I was gratified to find a single copy of a book which discussed and analyzed our Constitution. This podcast will hopefully fill the sad gap in liberal or other so called education in our post modernist era. I look forward to listening. Victor Frankl is an excellent starting point.
  • MissBlister
    Much Needed
    Even though I’d like to read, I just never find the time or the privacy to do so, which makes me really happy to have a show like this to hear great minds discuss important pieces of literature
