About He Read She Read
The ‘he’ is, JP Pomare. And ‘she’ is Sarah Bailey. We’re two Melbourne based authors who – surprise surprise – love books. We love writing books, reading books and listening to books, and we especially love talking about books. We don’t always agree but that’s probably going to be the best part. 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. We’d like to give a huge shout out to our exclusive podcast sponsor, Specsavers, for making our show possible.
