This is a podcast I relish listening to. The conversations are always wide ranging and full of depth. I also get to hear about books by women I haven’t yet read and long to read. This is a must listen for any serious lover of books and reading.
Love this podcast!
I love writing and love the women’s prize for fiction. I love this podcast and hearing from so many women and their top 5. It has also introduced me to more amazing books !
I used to be such a fan of all things to do with the Women’s Prize for Fiction and that included the podcast, but it’s been dumbed down to such a low level now I’m afraid I’m giving up.

A thoughtful, literature-forward program centered on women's writing, creativity, and personal growth. Guests come from arts, journalism, activism, and entertainment, each sharing five influential books by women and discussing how those works shaped their identities, careers, and worldviews. The conversations tend to blend book recommendations with stories about motherhood, feminism, and leadership, making it a go-to for listeners who want inspiration, diverse perspectives, and strong female narratives. A standout throughline is how books intersect with real-life experiences—artistry, public life, and social impact—delivering warm, insightful conversations with consistently strong guest lineups and practical reading suggestions.
