It might not be a bank holiday, but you can still binge this while driving to IKEA, or BBQing tofu kebabs in the backyard while watching next door's kids pour a litre bottle of sunflower oil into their parent's hot tub this weekend. Or whatever it is you lot do.

You're a nice bunch - mostly - & understand the tedious & un-British need to constantly promote or sink without trace. So if you have pals that are interested in writers/ write themselves please let them know about the podcast & suggest they subscribe. Please thank you & sorry 🙏🏼

A new series from the brilliant Chris Lang! And completionists should listen to this podcast ep to hear a clip from the original script when he thought this same project was dead in the water.

Thank you @TheSimonEvans for recommending Stoner by John Williams which I've just finished. What a wonderful, absorbing book set during the first half of the last century, evoking a life lived with a quiet dignity and honour. Very affecting ❤️.
