The BLB Podcast is a new project from Brick Lane Bookshop created to celebrate and interrogate the short story form. For each episode, we invite a writer to read from one of their stories, discuss their writing and editing processes, their route to publication and what they’re reading.

In the second episode of season two, co-hosts Kate Ellis and Peter J. Coles talk to Gurnaik Johal about his debut short story collection, We Move
