Back That Book Up Sylvie
-
- Arts
Host Sylvie chops it up with a different author each episode to deep dive into their latest novel, alongside getting to know the authors away from their literary creation. Expect a space for political conversations to be had, tea to be spilt, and humorous grievances to be had over the contents of novels.
All are welcome... BUT especially those who would bring a book to social gatherings if it could fit in their bag. You're my typa person!
A new episode drops on the last Tuesday of each month!

Sex Bomb by Sadia Azmat
And we're back. Doing up 2024 with a brand new episode.
This month Sylvie is joined by Sadia Azmat, author of Sex Bomb. Sadia has written a memoir, and she's a comedian so expect raw, random, unfiltered giggles.
Sex Bomb was originally published in May 2022.
Within the first minute Sadia had asked the host... "Have you had a threesome" and the conversation was set from there...
Next month Sylvie is joined by a British treasure. The legend that is Dorothy Koomson, as she premieres her latest book, Every Smile You Fake -
The Three Of Us by Ore Agbaje-Williams
Yaggayoo, on the second episode of the Back That Book Up Podcast, host Sylvie is joined by Ore Agbaje-Williams.
Ore’s first novel the Three Of Us was released in May 2023.
Quick story plot: There are 3 people. A wife, her husband, and her bestie. P.S. The husband and bestie hate each other!
The book is swift, a hurricane, and set over the course of a day. And getting the tea from author Ore, makes the book feel that much more enjoyable. All hail Ore, “ The Queen Of Mess” -
Enter Ghost by Isabella Hammad
Yaggayoo, we're kickstarting the monthly Back That Book Up podcast in discussion with Isabella Hammad, a British-Palestinian author, who released her novel Enter Ghost this year.
Enter Ghost centres on the experiences of Palestinians in both Palestine and Israel, incorporating theatre throughout.
The episode recorded in April, embodies the vibe of Isabella's thought-provoking novel... political and powerful! -
