context_page_description: 372 Pages We'll Never Get Back is a podcast series created by Michael J. Nelson and Conor Lastowka. Beginning in 2017 with Ernest Cline's Ready Player One, the podcast discusses literature that the two men "are probably going to hate."
context_section_description: In 2017, Marc Hershon of Vulture.com wrote, "While I actually enjoyed breezing through Cline’s tribute to pop culture of latter half of the 20th century, I can’t deny a certain pleasure in reliving it through 372 Pages’ comedically brutal thrashing."
  The A.V. Club's Mike Vanderbilt interviewed Nelson and Lastowka in 2018.
  In 2019, Alice Nuttall of Book Riot wrote, "Nelson and Lastowka spin bad books into gold. Listening to an episode is like sitting in on a reading group run by people who are much funnier than you are."
