{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Book Club for Buddies","slug":"bookclubforbuddies","podcastDescription":"

Jai Ashman and Simon Giacomin are two buddies that can read, but choose not to.

Each week they talk shop, unwind, solve problems that they, themselves, created and have a ball. Several of them.

At it's core, Book Club is a comedy podcast and absolutely no books were read in the making of it.
