- What exactly is the point of Sam Leith?
A Fleet St nepo baby par excellence, Sam Leith is the OE wet who failed ever upwards. This podcast is dross but it is at least marginally better than his dribble p- output for the Speccie.

Sam Leith is a charming and terrifically informed and thoughtful reader and interviewer. This podcast never disappoints and is the best books cast I’ve found.

Apple Podcasts1MiscellanyUnited Kingdoma year ago - Sam Leith is amazing
The most intelligent interviewer who really illuminates the subjects. When Lord Bragg finally gives up In Our Time, Sam’s the logical successor.

The ever fascinating Robert Douglas-Fairhurst was a great guest and the subsequent episode with Borch Jacobsen was intriguing and soberly radical. Excellent podcast.
