“Just listened to my first episode with Madeline Miller and absolutely loved it. Can’t wait to get home and download some of her recommendations. Vicki has a lovely interviewing style, could listen all day. Thank you for celebrating women’s writing so effectively.”

“I absolutely love this podcast. As someone who sometimes puts my favourite hobby of reading on the back burner due to the busyness of life, this podcast inspires me to prioritise reading as a life necessity. Each guest offers different perspectives on both life and books, and I love listening to...”Read full review »

“I met her once and was awestruck, but it was the merest moment at a wonderful, crowded, celebratory party. I had never listened to any of her work anywhere and had no idea how brilliant and flexible and sensitive her mind is, or how acute and articulate and musical and loveable she can be as an...”Read full review »

“I LOVED the last season hosted by the incomparable Zawe Ashton, but I can’t make this a 5 star review after listening to the irritating chat with Scarlett Curtis. The new host Vick Hope is fine, but I got very little from the latest episode, mostly due to the choice of guest, and what she had to...”Read full review »

“Zawe’s hosting skills are phenomenal! I’ve loved the guests thus far and the rapport between they each have with Zawe. It feels like I’m listening in on two girlfriends talking life and how their 5 chosen novels influenced their journey. Great stuff!”

“Good to hear people’s experiences and views. I like that it doesn’t give too much away about the books so if you’re going to read them you don’t have to worry about spoilers. Hosts are all really good too.”

She gave a detailed explanation of Wide Sargasso Sea but the other recommendations I didn’t get a sense of what the book was about if...”Read full review »

“I don’t know if you’ve heard but there are these women folk people and they’re pretty awesome. They’re strong and smart and actually pretty funny.
I know, right?! They’re just like us guys except kinda different, but also kinda the same!
Anyway, they write these things called books and turns...”Read full review »

“There was so much laughter in Ruby’s story that totally went over your head! I don’t think you got her, and she probably should stick to interviewers who do get her, her spirit, her wit, her persona.
I mean did you have to ask why do you say people in mental institution are ‘your people’? C’mon...”Read full review »
