Interesting angle but often frustrating
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. The interruptions are often to completely change the topic and so it gets really hard to follow and listen to. It would also be better if there was a little more structure. 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.

More reviews of Sara & Cariad's Weirdos Book Club
Bringing intelligent, witty, honest chat to the world of weirdo books. I really hope to listen to many more episodes to come. Perhaps one day my own weirdo book might find it’s way here! Imagine!

I listened to one for a book I’d read and thought well I’m not going to enjoy others where I hadn’t read the book. How wrong I was! Definitely recommend this to get insights into new books and learn about authors I’d never heard of.

Surely if someone you loved no longer existed, physically you would grieve for them. However if you loved somebody who left you emotionally and physically the pain would be worse because they are leaving you.
