In these weeks between episodes, we'd like to highlight and share some of our favourite fellow podcasts and shows! This week, we present something a little different. This is an in-universe podcast for a book about audio drama written by Leon Egan of Tell No Tales, who introduced this for us with some context!

Listen Closely is a heartwarming, cosy YA romance, perfect for fans of You've Got Mail, Jenny Han, Beth Reekles, and Heartstopper, from the highly-acclaimed author of Lover Birds.

"Jude's smile is magnificent. Their sharp edges melted away into a rare and beautiful joy. The flash illuminates them as their photo is taken, and for just a second, they glow. It feels like lightning has struck."When Jude and Aiden are paired together for an internship at a local radio station, things are awkward. Jude is quiet, withdrawn, has one friend, and is suspicious of everyone. Aiden is charming, outgoing and popular, with a seemingly easy confidence and golden retriever energy.But after they discover a shared love of podcast dramas, Jude and Aiden realise that they have more in common than they first realised -- especailly after Aiden reveals that he is a huge fan of Jude's own podcast, The Night Merchant.With a wonderful and original meet-cute premise, an adorable couple with a grumpy x sunshine dynamic and gorgeous chemistry, and themes of forced proximity, found family, and mistaken identity, Listen Closely is an irresistible, heartwarming, swoon-worthy romance and a beautiful coming-of-age story – perfect for fans of You’ve Got Mail, Heartstopper, and Rainbow Rowell.

Narrated by Cloud Quinn and Maggie Bain.
