| 0:00.0 | Hey readers, welcome to the currently reading podcast. |
| 0:14.1 | We are bookish best friends who spend time every week talking about the books that we've |
| 0:18.0 | read recently and as you know we won't shy away from having strong opinions so you need |
| 0:24.1 | to get ready. |
| 0:25.5 | We are light on the chitchat, heavy on the caffeine, and our descriptions will always |

| 1:19.8 | happens, so I'm not too worried about it. |
| 1:22.7 | I love it, but then I end up either needing to put an explicit warning on the show, or |
