Enjoyable…
There’s a lot to love here! Not trying to be rude, but not everyone enjoys listening to random chit-chat, so I would just recommend moving the ‘catch up’ bit to the end so that those of us who are short on time can choose to listen to that bit or not. Or let us know in the notes at what point the author guest is introduced so that we can skip to that part. Thanks! *downgraded to 2 stars because too often involves chit chat about motherhood…one conversation had loads of assumptions about “all women” in their 40s being able to relate to children leaving home, etc. 1) Not all women are mothers or will ever be mothers. 2) Increasingly, women are BECOMING mothers in their 40s, so this all just felt so narrow and irrelevant!
Brilliant podcasts!
Brilliant podcasts for authors and thriller fans - or generally anyone bookish!
