Welcome to the 47th episode of The Bookcast Club, a book podcast for people who love to read and talk books. Today, Alice and Jenny revisit escapist reads, as we both step with excitement and trepidation out of lockdown. We share a mix of arm chair travel both at home and abroad, nature reads and books set in the great outdoors. A full transcript of this episode is available and should be accessible via your podcast app.

Support The Bookcast Club
You can support the podcast on Patreon. Our tiers start at just $2 a month and rewards include, early access, bonus episodes and tailored book recommendations. Our aim, when we hit $75 a month, is to set up a fund to allow those with less money to buy books. If you are happy to donate for no reward you can do so on our website. A free way to show your support, and a very effective way of spreading the word, is to mention us on social media or review us on iTunes.

We love hearing from our listeners. If you have any questions, ideas for future episodes or book recommendations then we would love to hear from you. You can get in touch on both Instagram or Twitter, by email or you can now leave us a voice message. Please note that we may read your messages out or play voice messages on the podcast.
