    If you like books and walks and things that make you feel good, this is it. 2 friends taking a well-known book out for a walk to see how its supposed setting matches up to a real location and date. They have 2 Christmas greatest hits recap episodes out at the moment that will give you a sense of it, but I also recommend just diving into any interesting book in series 2. Or series 1. It's all great.

  • A Fine and Fabulous Book Podcast

    Very insightful and entertaining stuff from Tim and Lloyd, as they follow the journeys, or visit the locations, described in famous novels. Great stuff!

  • One of the best books podcast

    Highly focussed, very specific, scarily well-researched, well produced, and, even if you’re not that into books, it’s still great fun. Great podcasts thrive on enthusiasm and this podcast has it in spades. More please.
