Amazing podcast for readers of vintage paperbacks

Great podcast for vintage paperback collectors or those who like to read classic crime and pulp fiction. Well researched but not stuffy or academic, like sitting around a table listening to friends talk about books. I hope they continue to produce episodes as it has quickly become one of my favorites.
