MY TRUCK HE HA HE HA HE HA
P.S ignore the stupid person who wrote the last comment because they clearly are depressed and want to die. (diva demon)
Outstanding
This is an outstandingly good podcast 💫 Pamela Paul has always been really great and I will miss her!
Intelligent, informative, accessible, witty.
I really enjoy this podcast, enjoy the in-depth interviews with authors, wide ranging reviews of books - I’ve found a few great ones recommended here. It’s intelligent without being stuffy, lots of ‘literary’ writing as well as ‘popular’ books , no judgements made between the two. Fiction, biography, history, YA fiction, plus news from publishing. Emphasis on the US but plenty from the rest of the world. Listen while I’m walking in Derbyshire, UK. Nature and culture. Love it.
