“Focussing in books with an outsider character, a weirdo, is an interesting take on which books to feature, and the podcast is largely enjoyable. However, it would be much improved if Cariad stopped interrupting and speaking over everyone, both Sara and guests.

They jump straight into discussing the book, and then go back and forth to what it’s about and its context. Whereas some initial scene setting would help. Like, what’s the summary of the novel, is there anything relevant we should know of the author, what are the guests initial impressions and then begin the discussion.”

I get the enthusiasm and insights but she really dominates the conversation and I wouldn’t just enjoy hearing more from the actual author. David Nicholls couldn’t get a word in edgeways. It’s really...”Read full review »
