  • Wonderful book pod

    Daisy’s pod is one of my absolute favourites book pods - or any pods to be honest. She has such a broad knowledge of books and is very well read. Her guests are entertaining and knowledgable and the reading lists from each episode form a wonderful basis for a TBR list. I love to listen to a load of episodes featuring authors I like and cross refer to the lists of books discussed on other episodes to see where the same books feature on those lists.

    If you love books, and hearing about which boo... more

  • My bookshelves will never be the same again

    I’ve been devouring the back episodes of this podcast for the last few months.

    It’s a lovely concept, and Daisy is fantastic. Always interested and excited and ready to listen to her guests and share her own stories. The quality of the conversations are amazing, full of incredible ideas and suggestions for future reads - it’s always a delight to listen.

    I’ve now started buying books specifically from hearing about them on the podcast - including Daisy’s own book, Insatiable - and I’ve jus... more

  • My new favourite podcast

    I adore this podcast. I am new to it, and in danger of devouring the whole backlist. I find Daisy such a natural interviewer; every exchanged feels very conversational and easy, and I enjoy picking up new book recommendations. I especially love the ones where Daisy visits fellow authors in their homes. Top podcast for people who like listening to other people talk about books.

  • The best book lover’s podcast!

    My absolute favourite podcast! I listen on long drives and it makes time fly - engrossing, engaging, warm and soothing. I love everything about the format and Daisy’s genuine passion.y only concern is that my TBR pile will get as big as Yomi’s (that was a standout episode!) Don’t ever change Daisy, we love you!
