Rich and Ryan give you the 411 on who they are, why they started Hot Take Books, and how the show works. Naturally, there's plenty of banter—Rich forgets he's a Star Wars fan, Ryan declares himself a HUGE SPORTS GUY, and the two debate whether comic books count as books (spoiler: they absolutely do).

Hot Take Books: The 411

🔥 We read Hot Books and give you Hotter Takes. 🔥

Welcome to the show where two friends—Rich and Ryan—dive into the best (and occasionally worst) of sci-fi and fantasy, one book at a time. Every title gets two episodes: a spoiler-free FastTake for the curious and a spoiler-filled deep dive for the chaos lovers.

We skip the plot overviews and go straight for the good stuff: World Building &amp; Lore, Characters, and Story—served with unfiltered opinions, spicy takes, and way too much banter. If you like book talk, laughs, passion, and the occasional nerdy meltdown, you're in the right place
