Between work, parenting, and life’s endless to-do lists, who has time to invest in books they don't like? Welcome to Proofread. Proofread wants to help you read more of what you love and less of what you don't. Hosted by Kacy and Tyler, two English professors, avid readers, and busy parents, each Proofread episode gives you everything you need to decide whether a book is a must-read or a hard pass. In just 15 minutes, you’ll get thoughtful context, a quick summary, honest opinions, and clear content warnings. No spoilers and no fluff. These aren’t sponsored reviews, just real readers giving real takes to help you find the right book for right now. Proofread is a production of BYU Radio.
