Books and Authors

Thanks for your consistently fascinating broadcasting. The recent panel episode with Naomi Alderman about the future was especially great. Keep up the great work.

I enjoy the wide range of books discovered through these discussions. The guests vary so widely in how they interpret what is a a Good Read that I learn of books I’d never hear of elsewhere. The host is an absolute twin to my own book tastes so I know there will always be at least one book I’ve read or need to read or better still, need to reread.

Mariella Frostrup is by far the best of the hosts. Always measured, informed and a pleasure to listen to.

A great concept but often the shallowness of the guests is such that they could be talking about television. In fact they are usually TV presenters of some kind.
