It is wonderful to hear the voices of readers from all corners of the world talking about the same book. The comments and questions are rich and the answers of authors are rich. The discussions expand our openness to the diversity of our global family.

Harriet Gilbert is an excellent presenter in that she seems to relax the guests, respects those who submit questions and when appropriate uses her own life experiences to illustrate themes / issues from the books being discussed. If you enjoy reading then definitely give this podcast a go, there is genuine diversity running through each episode.
