Host, Kristy King-Pritzl

Kristy King-Pritzl

When she’s not forcing her husband to read books for the podcast, she’s chipping away at her own TBR list or dominating trivia night with random facts no one saw coming. A Metro Detroit native who’s lived in six states (plus DC), she’s a die-hard Jeopardy! watcher, a football fanatic, and also firmly believes chips and salsa should be their own food group.

Co-host, Jon King-Pritzl

Jon King-Pritzl

When he’s not behind the mic, you’ll find him spinning vinyl records like a self-proclaimed audiophile and perfecting the classic cocktail—because life’s too short for bad sound and poorly mixed drinks. Off-air, you may find him out on his motorcycle or planning his next tattoo (spoiler: dragons will be involved). He’s a proud Swiftie and firmly believes that pickles have no place in a civilized society.

Chief Barketing Officers, Harvey and Spencer

Chief Barketing Officers

Harvey & Spencer

These two pups are the four-legged executive team behind the podcast, providing top-tier moral support (and occasional background barks). Spencer, the resident cuddle enthusiast, specializes in snack detection and lap domination, while Harvey, the self-appointed security chief, ensures no unwanted guest goes unchallenged.

People (besides our family) are loving our banter.

Authentic and Fun. Great Stuff

Can’t wait for the next episode. I haven’t even read the book and I was still entertained!!!

Don’t have time to meet with the girls on a day during the week? Here’s the perfect podcast for you. Books I Make My Husband Read is the perfect podcast to pop the AirPods in and listen to through the day or night. It’s like catching up with friends getting the ends and outs of all your favorite new books. OH and they will even throw in some sports talk along the way. AWESOME! 5/5 from me. Don’t miss out.

@ i don’t read (just listen)

Love the concept!!! (and the execution!)

What a fun concept! As someone who also made her husband read Fourth Wing, I think we are definitely of a mind. Loved the first episode (Fourth Wing), and I also enjoyed the Book Lovers episode (as that’s one of my favorite Emily Henry book). I’ll be sure to keep following along and listen to other episodes as I get through the books on my TBR!

@ByPage

Love it!

Great banter and thoughtful takes. One of my favorite duos!

@becblessing

More please!

Listening to this podcast is like meeting with with good friends and hearing them talk about their latest book obsession over cocktails (which is hands-down my absolute favorite way to spend an evening). Looking forward to the next episode!

@ldfarah

Looking forward to the next episode!

Just listened to the Fourth Wing episode and absolutely loved it! Even though fantasy is not my go-to genre and even though they mention spoilers in this episode (they warn you beforehand, don’t worry!), I left the episode excited to read the book for myself!

@pritzlse

Season 1 is in the books!

Take a stroll down memory lane and grab any episode from the shelf and enjoy!
