Love this podcast! My favourite episodes are when they talk about a less current/trending book without a guest.
Like the pod, Liv little ep is great especially, but the music is very much ‘heyyy this is for ZANY older white people!!’ It’s truly awwwwwful :(
I love this podcast, i think that when they have the author as the guest it really changes the vibe though, so i personally skip those, it feels more like promo.
Love it
I love this podcast! My favourite episodes are actually when there isn’t a guest and Sara and Cariad talk so engagingly about the book that the adverts just have to cut in because there isn’t a pause! When I struggle to sleep at night, I put an episode on so that I feel like I’m with friends.

Conversations center around the quirky and unconventional aspects of literature, focusing on books that resonate with themes of oddity and uniqueness. The hosts, both comedians and authors, engage deeply with their chosen works, often inviting fellow creatives to share their insights and personal anecdotes related to the texts. This dynamic creates an environment that balances literary critique with humor and personal storytelling, broadening the appeal to audiences who appreciate books that challenge the mainstream narrative. Notably, the podcast champions a sense of community for those who feel like outsiders, providing not just reviews of books, but also reflections on identity, memory, and emotional experience.
