About This Podcast
Is your TBR pile becoming a serious health and safety hazard? Did you stay up too late last night JUST so you could finish the good bit at the end of Chapter 8? Have you ever found yourself sniffing the pages of a new paperback book like its a fine perfume? If you answered yes to any of those questions you just might be a Serious Book Person.
Join our host, Robert Watkins, as he sits down with an author, a reader or a fellow book-obsessive (or maybe they're all three at once) and uncovers their favourite stories, the books that changed them, and why we still cling to the glorious, dusty power of paper and ink.
