Fantastic, diverse podcast from the Scottish Book Trust. This is my go-to book chat. Great hosts always alongside a wonderful, insightful bevy of guests.
I'm always forgetting my book to read on the bus and this saves my sanity. Nice one!
I love to read, but I'm time-starved, so having a quality, digestible podcast on books is a really handy way for me to keep up to date with which novels are worth reading. Discussions are quite chatty and snappy.
Enjoyed stumbling on this today, great to have a dedicated Scottish literary podcast to listen to, gonna bookmark this...
I don’t have time to join a book group so I rely on this show for my fix of good book chat.
