For our 40th episode we return to the International Literature Showcase with a special conversation between Elif Shafak, Patience Agbabi, Charlotte Higgins and Evie Wyld - all writers who have been selected by Elif for her showcase of women writers working in the UK today. This event was recorded at the Free Word Centre on 25 March 2019.

The International Literature Showcase is a partnership project between the National Centre for Writing and British Council.

Hosted by Simon Jones and new regular voice Steph McKenna!
