    This podcast could be good but the women hosts haven’t a clue to how insipid tand nervous they sound. Loved the interview with Sheila Fitzpatrick

  • Just Lovely

    Arthur Dent should have been worried about the London Review and its bookshop rather than the Guardian but the Review had not started when the Hitchhiker first appeared on the planet. It is a towel.

  • Nourishing the whole writing community

    As a writer based in Edinburgh I so rarely have an opportunity to attend events at the LRB, and it’s such a joy that you make them accessible on audio playback. It makes me feel like part of a wider writing community even when I can’t be there. And the conversations between writers on this podcast are so enriching and motivating, that regular listening has become part of my writing practice - thank you for all you do!
