Customer Reviews
Perfect podcast for book lovers!
Love this podcast, the love of books shines through in every episode! On my author bucket list of podcasts I would love to appear on - maybe one day…
Best book podcast
This is just what I’ve been searching for. Great content, great atmosphere and great authors.
Julie Storr
Like other reviewers this was recommended by David Butcher on the Radio Times podcast and I am so glad I followed his advice. One of my favourite podcasts - Philippa’s summary of the books and her interview style are perfect. Love it.
