I just discovered this podcast after reading The Scarlet Letter alongside my teens who are reading it at school (so I could converse with them about it). That episode was SO helpful in helping me process my thoughts on the books as well as the big themes. I plan to make my boys listen to it also & am curious to see if they talk about those ideas during seminar discussion at school 😉 I love that it’s from a conservative, biblical worldview. Thank you for this bookclub!

I get to join book club while commuting to work. I have learned so much. Anxiously awaiting new episodes. Thank you!

The host brings his weird, extreme politics into it constantly.

It’s not an intellectual standpoint to critique a feminist interpretation of “A Doll House” as being political, while then using your own patriarchal and institutional-upholding interpretation of the play as… not political. As though the idea that “a father leaving his family is bad enough” but a mother leaving is completely inexcusable… is not a political stance. Of course it is. Interpret and argue over the literature as you wish, but at least do it with intellectual integrity.

Always loved Michael Knowles content! His commentary on these books made me want to read them! Keep going!!

Michael is so smart and articulate! His book breakdowns are so entertaining and captivating! Highly recommend!

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

Thank you for this captivating podcast. I’m binge listening.

Love this podcast; I’m learning much more than I ever did in school!!!

I look forward to new episodes and wish they appeared more frequently. Great guests and interesting books!

Not a YouTube channel huh

I just discovered this podcast and it has proved to be the single best thing I listen to each week. It has sent me back to discover and rediscover literature and I am learning so much. Profoundly grateful for this resource. Thank you

Love the show, great information, phenomenal books. Can’t wait for more to come out

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 !!

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.

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 ❤️

I thought I was going in for a book analysis. Instead I was fed a political agenda that borderlines delusional. Not a fan.

Great summary! Love the book club!

In my bucket list , I like to have a cigar one day with Michael Knowles and Dennis Prager. I loooooove these two. Thank you Lord .

extremely political (right). doesn’t explain reasoning for arguments either

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!

It’s like a quickie PhD!

Thank you! Brilliant podcast! I’m learning so much!

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.

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.

Love 1984

Love the episode on Galileo Galilei!

Love, love, love! Intelligent, insightful and fun! Thank you for helping us rediscover the joy and deep need for classic literature!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

I keep buying and reading the books discussed by this podcast. My eyes have been opened. Thank you.

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.

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!

This is always a good listen, but especially the one on 1984. Worth a listen.

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!

It’s nice to hear an intellectual discussion and tease my appetite for something highbrow

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!

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.

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.

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.

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! 🥰

More please.

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.

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.

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
