Every podcast, Lloyd & Tim – two funny book-loving blokes – take you on a walk or a road trip, using a well-known novel as the only guide.
Great literature, amazing landscapes and general laughter guaranteed with every episode.

It's all great.
Irrelevant, creative, absorbing and fun
Just wish they were a bit more prolific
