In their Halloween episode, the bearded bros dig into their childhoods while discussing The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager.

Has Erik found a new obsession? Did reading actually tone his biceps? Find out here as Erik talks about The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss (from Episode #5: A Dash of Fruit Gushers).

But on BAEBS Episode #7 (Dystopian Children's Songs), Erik said he wouldn't read Anthem by Ayn Rand?...Oh well! He did anyway!

As Erik deals with his haunted apartment and Ben finds alternate book covers, the bearded bros "constructively" criticize the backsummaradvert of Skukuza: An African Adventure by Anthony Ivins.

As Erik destroys his voice, Ben uses his soothing tones to discuss love, the Renaissance Faire, and Well Met by Jen DeLuca.

The bearded bros tackle their first true story -- as well as cookies dunked in coffee -- with Karen Abbott's The Ghosts of Eden Park: The Bootleg King, the Women Who Pursued Him, and the Murder that Shocked Jazz-Age America (luckily the backsummaradvert is not as long as the title).

Now that their podcast is at the legal drinking age, Ben and Erik celebrate by diving into the long...long...long...long backsummaradvert of Borne by Jeff VanderMeer.

This week, see the dark side of Erik as he sends Ben's favorite band to Purgatory, they discover fan-made Lord of the Rings spin-offs, and they find the RPG elements in The Harrowing by James Aitcheson.

Feast your ears on the first episode of Erik's Corner, the place where Erik talks about the books that he read and that were featured on Ben & Erik's Bookstore. First up: The Hike by Drew Magary (from Episode #6 A Hop, A Skip, and A Hike).

This week, the bearded bros discuss enlightenment and the inspiration behind their podcast's intro with Bobby Hoffman (why does that name sound familiar...?) and Chris Panico from the incredible podcast No Nonsense Storytime.
