Recorded live at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, this month's pod speaks to Zia Haider Rahman and Richard Benson, the winners of The James Tait Black Prizes. The University of Edinburgh has awarded the prizes annually since 1919, making them the UK's oldest literary awards. Rahman is the winner of the fiction category for his expansive debut novel, In The Light of What We Know. Benson is the winner of the biography prize for The Valley, which traces a hundred tumultuous years in the life of his family. Also on the pod are two of the judges, Professor Randal Stevenson and Dr Jonathan Wild.
