  • Engaging, informative and thoroughly enjoyable

    Jack Edward’s podcast Inklings is very enjoyable. Jack’s enthusiasm for books and reading shines through. A particular favourite was the episode with Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi which included Andrew O’Hagan reading a passage from Frankenstein — really bringing it to life!

  • My train entertainment

    It’s basically a routine for me since this podcast started to always listen to any episode when I’m on my way to work.

    It makes me feel calm and relaxed. I completely disconnect from everything and I just focus on books, the people talking on the episodes and the positive vibes that Jack brings to them.

    I loved Jacks’ videos on YouTube and I’ve stopped watching social media as much, so it’s good to have this format.

    So good, honestly. Truly recommend it! :)
