We don’t always agree but that’s probably going to be the best part.Our first episode will drop on the 1st of January 2026,and after that we’ll be dropping episodes every fortnight.Each episode will see us deep dive into a book we think is worth talking about. We will chat through the key elements: namely the premise, plot, people, place and the pace, and we’ll talk about what we liked and what we didn’t.There will be spoilers and there will be respectful disagreements. Sometimes we’ll be joined by special guests.For a bit of fun, we’ll also throw in some random book recommendations every episode as well.We’d like to give a huge shout out to our exclusive podcast sponsor, Specsavers, for making our show possible.
