- For book lovers everywhere
This podcast is perfect for people who want to think more deeply about their favourite books — but also aren’t afraid to have a bit of fun with them. In each episode, they essentially ask ‘Why does this book matter? Why has it struck a chord, and what does that tell us about ourselves?’ Whether you like that sort of stuff, or just want to know who the “Basta*d of the Book” is *cough* Mr Wickham *cough*, this podcast is for you.

This is the perfect podcast for people looking for an intelligent and humorous discussion of classic literature. I just finished listening to the Jude the Obscure episode and I can’t wait for more. I just wish I could participate in the discussion! I love the Bastard of the Book segment.
