By Its Cover

By Its Cover is a tell all book review and comedy podcast where siblings Katie and Jake try to review books after they pick them out by their cover. Jake has a rule about fully reading a book after picking it by its cover, sometimes to his dismay, and Katie has such a broad set of interests that you really never know what we’re going to review.
