Celebrity Memoir Book Club isn't a podcast that feeds you book summaries; instead, it's all about the opinions of hilarious hosts Claire Parker and Ashley Hamilton.

podcast Ashley Hamilton and Claire Parker are not enjoying their current read. When I speak with them over Zoom, they’re in the midst of Australian influencer Tash Oakley’s book, which is proving to be a milquetoast, by-the-numbers manual for how to start a business.

The pair bonded over loving Taylor Swift and pop culture in general. They started their first podcast together,, just a couple months into their friendship, around Britney Spears’ birthday . The pair good-naturedly made fun of Britney on the show, but when rumors about her conservatorship came to light, they ended the podcast for ethical reasons.

“This is information that are putting out there for public discussion and consumption, and so we can read these books and discuss them and not feel like we’re crossing anyone’s boundaries in that way,” Hamilton explains., in particular actor Busy Philipps’ response to the episode about her book) hands-off approach to their second child, as detailed in the memoir.

The fans are at the heart of the podcast for the duo, along with their friendship. Hamilton and Parker started this venture on their own and have reached #7 in the U.S. Comedy Podcast charts, largely because of how well they connect with their listeners. They host fan meet-ups, often aroundlive show dates, and plan to set up a speed-dating of sorts for people who want to make friends in their neighborhoods.
