Matt Haig

International bestselling author Matt Haig drops by the studio for a chat with Simon and Matt. His new novel, The Life Impossible, is - in his words - "not The Midnight Library 2" - but it does share some themes. Matt talks about facing fears and going back to Ibiza, a place where he nearly committed suicide and which held a lot of trauma. He talks about his fish out of water characters, why he doesn't like the term 'magical realism' and how he nearly stopped writing altogether to become a bookseller.

Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult is baaaack! And she joins Simon and Matt in the studio to discuss her new novel. They chat about the myths surrounding Shakespeare and his work, whether he really wrote all the plays he's credited to have written, and why the history of women writers of the time is completely unknown. Women used writing to record their wisdom at the time, but this specific part of history hasn't been explored properly. We hope you enjoy this lively and quite fulsome debate! (and here's a little more on the book) BY ANY OTHER NAME Student playwright Melina Green finds that even in New York, her words will struggle to make the stage, when the power is held by men. Inspired by the life of her ancestor Emilia Bassano, a gifted and witty storyteller herself, Melina takes a lesson from history, and submits a play under a male pseudonym . . . As Melina discovers more of Emilia’s extraordinary life in Elizabethan England, she is determined to right the wrongs of the past – and finally tell her story. Two women – centuries apart – are both forced to hide behind another name. But can either make their voices heard? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
