Book Club for Buddies

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.
