The CoverCrush Show
The only show where book covers are tested live with our Hybrid Panel. Every episode: 2–4 covers, live data, unfiltered results, and the author's reaction.
New episodes every Sunday
Real covers tested live
Authors submit their covers before recording. We run a live test during the show and reveal results in real time.
Hybrid Panel evaluation
Every episode runs covers through the CoverCrushing Hybrid Panel — AI analysis plus real reader votes. No cherry-picking, no staged results.
Expert analysis
Each episode features a cover designer or bestselling author who breaks down what the data means and what to do next.
