Such an intelligent and interesting set of discussions.
For lovers of close reading, this program is perfection.
A very likeable and erudite podcast. You learn a lot, as usual with Tom Sutcliffe.
Really enjoyed both episodes: great analysis of writerly techniques. More please!
Great podcast, exactly the kind of literature analysis I’ve been looking for but never find in written reviews. It’s reminiscent of my English Lit days in uni, and just perfect over a cup of coffee in the mornings!
