  • What’s the point?

    Not sure if the show improved but I started with the earliest episodes and they seem to just state the obvious. I didn’t gain anything from listening.

  • Always well researched and presented

    I love this podcast. The range of subjects offered is fascinating and a great set of highly qualified authors and professionals lined up to discuss. Hilary Harper asks the most insightful questions and shows she’s done her homework. Beverley Wang has great style and warmth. I’ve learned so much and read loads of books I’d never have discovered otherwise. Thanks guys, well done.

    Interesting topics but the way the presenters respond to callers and writers who express opinions that differ to their own is so rude.
