Reading for Attention readingforattention

Well, well, well, if it isn't us us us and if we aren't reading Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow.
As a special Hallowe'en treat, we finally managed (a month ago) to record an ep especially for you you you. Join us as we dive into the wonderfully weird world of video games and, more importantly, their creators. Zevin has really pulled it out ze bag for this one.
Also, Paul has the meat sweats from 8 courses of Greek food, and Sarah barely mentions the weather, so it's business as usual in the Reading for Attention studio (our flats), and isn't that just music to your gorgeous little lugs?
Anyway, love you. We'll be back soon with our correct opinions on Eliza Clark's hotly anticipated SOPHMORE novel, Penance.
Spooky songs and haunted hugs 3

Guess what - we've finally bothered to record a pod! Aren't we just SO great? We're back with bang, talking about Monica Heisey's Really Good, Actually, and washing it down with a Chardonnay which is usually minging but every once in a while you find one that's really good, actually. Aside from that, we catch up with international travel maven, Sarah Jane Hopkins who has just returned from Mehico where she had a sexy run-in with the cartel. Fabulous. Paul then reads aloud from his mam's food diary which will one day win a Pulitzer prize. To be honest, we're not sure how it hasn't already.
It's good to be back, babies. MWAH x

First things first! Paul, I'm sorry I haven't recorded a new intro yet. It's on the TDL babes.
Second things second! We're both really sorry about the sound qual of this one. It's poor. It's only cos we get too excited and start deepthroating our microphones, which we're sure you'll understand, and would do too if you were one half of an internationally famous, publicly, privately, and critically acclaimed podcast.
OK. This week we have read Madeline Miller's ancient (soz, 'new releases' now means anything from the last quarter-century obvy) retelling of an ancient myth, The Song of Achilles. If you haven't read this one, get ya tissues ready. It's a real t-jerker, and a total sole flasher. We wash it down with stories of gorgeous, gorgeous Benidorm and fond memories of small circles of bread with faux-prawns pasted atop. Oh, and a bloody mary.
We've missed you! Have you missed us? Of course you have. But fear not, once all the excitement around the biggest date in the Gregorian/Lunar/Julian/Mayan/etc. etc. calendar has dissipated in a big puff of multicoloured glitter (Eurovish, duh), we'll be BACK with a brand new ep where we say really intelligent things about Monica Heisey's Really Good, Actually. Until then, though, big snugs and snogs xxx

Well folx, hold on to your tits because this one is chaos. This week we're chatting about Yara Rodrigues Fowler's Stubborn Archivist, a form-bending piece of autofiction perfy for all you millennial minxes. Sarah didn't like it but Paul did so Sarah likes it now, and we're both certain that you'll love it. Then we talk about tits, kidneys (lack of), Succession (no spoilers though, we aren't dickheads) and, most excitingly, Sarah's foray back into Death Valley/meeting men on Hinge. It might be hot, but it's incredibly dry.
We'll be back soonish from Benidorm and the pub, with our take on Madeleine Miller's Song of Achilles. You'd be a bimbo to miss it!
Love you more than Paul hates culture!!!!!!!!

We're baaaack!
Hiya hunnies, welcome home. The first ep of season 4 is all about Emily Henry's bestselling stunner of a book Book Lovers. It has all the ingredients for a gorgeous flirty summer read - a sexy, high-achieving, powerful woman, a sexy, high-achieving, powerful man (in a suit), and... well, does the rest even matter? Get it READ!
Then we talk about what seems like litchurally everything that ever happened on planet earth. We cover icks, Paul's work pal Tyler, horror films, Tyler, Guantanamo bay, Tyler, Gran Canaria, Tyler, passive aggressive work emails and, that's right, Tyler. We hope you enjoy, we really do. But mostly we just hope you've missed us as much as we've missed you.
Love you! Sloppy snogs! Tickly titty tweaks! Mwah!

Well hunnies, it's the season/series/season three finale and we have truly saved the best till last. We're treating your lugs to our musings on Keira Andrews' Kidnapped By The Pirate, a swashbuckling tale of romance, shagging and umbilical cords. Since Christmas is but a distant memory, we've ditched the mulled wine for whatever drink we could find in our cupboards + rum. 
You can also hear us natter about our New Year's Resolutions - which are aplenty - and our intense emotional response to the best television show of all time (bar none): THE TRAITORS.
We love and adore you and we'll see you soon for series four xxxxxxxx
P.S. We're the 25th most popular comedy podcast in Senegal so we're basically made it.
