Congratulations on reaching 100 episodes. I love this podcast!
I have listened to many interviews with Paul Lynch since he won the Man Booker Prize.
The questions asked in the interview on Across the Pond allowed the author to speak more openly regarding his book Prophet Song than in any of his other interviews. The interviewer focused on the most important aspects of the novel as well as the intent of the author in writing it. Very insightful interview!
I enjoy the conversations between Lori and Sam. This podcast moves at a steady pace. They ask excellent questions and I always leave feeling like I’ve met the author and because of that I am more excited to read the books.
I’m really enjoying learning about new-to-me books and hearing your perspectives on books I have read. Hoping for a Lucy Ellmann interview.
Insightful, interesting and amusing
