  • Brilliant!

    I've only listened to one episode but it was fantastic. It was like attending a lecture and book club with really astute and thoughtful peers. The conversation was warm, thoughtful, full of different and alternative ideas and perspectives. There was agreement and disagreement too. I felt right at home and appreciated that my own reading and understanding of literature was closer to 'others' than I had previously thought. And I found that encouraging. I highly recommend this series.
