Join us as we take you along to a live event featuring Seán Ronayne, TV personality and author of "Nature Boy.", one of our Readalong faves from 2024. We discuss the event's venue, St. Luke's converted church in Cork, and Seán Ronayne’s engaging discussion about nature and conservation with Eoghan Daltun, another nature conservationist.

We share our admiration for Ronayne's passion and ability to captivate an audience, reflecting on his book, "Nature Boy," and his impact on their appreciation for nature. You can find out more about Seán and his work at https://www.irishwildlifesounds.com/. We share our enjoyment of the "Nature Boy" audiobook, how the author's enthusiasm and the immersive experience of listening to his narration are reflected in the live show, and how it has sparked a deeper interest in birds and nature.

Finally, we discuss our favourite reads from the past month.

Do you think critically about authorship? We didn't! That is until we stumbled across some books that made us question what constitutes plagiarism, why men would have put women's work forward as their own, and what repercussions AI and technology have on writing.

Join us as we chat about these hot topics and let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Have you come across a book with controversy surrounding its authorship? We'd love to know what it is!

Bite-Size episode #4 is here. These short and sweet episodes are a series of quick, fun voice notes between Claire and Rebecca, where they ask each other bookish dilemmas, 'Would you rather' and 'Which book would you choose' type questions. We also asked our listeners which fictional character the would bring to our (fictional) party for winning silver at the 2024 Irish Pod Awards, and we share some of the answers here!

Our first episode of 2025 is a fantastic interview with author Chris Whitaker. As well as speaking about his writing career and the importance of being a reader, we chat about his newest bestseller All the Colours of the Dark; you do not have to have read the book, but there are some references to the storyline - these may be minor spoilers to some, but we are confident they don't impact a new reader's enjoyment of the novel.

Chris Whitaker is the author of the New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling All The Colours Of The Dark. His other acclaimed and bestselling novels include We Begin At The End, Tall Oaks, and All The Wicked Girls.  

Chris's novels have been translated into thirty languages and have won the CWA Gold Dagger, the CWA John Creasey Dagger, the Theakston Crime Novel of the Year, the Ned Kelly International Award, and numerous awards around the world.  

His books have also been selected for the Read With Jenna Book Club, Waterstones Thriller of the Month, Barnes & Noble Book Club, Good Morning America Book Club, and for BBC2's Between The Covers.    

All The Colours Of The Dark is currently in development with Universal Pictures.  

Chris was born in London and lives in the UK.
