Our first indie business interview to help with post-lockdown sales, is with Ray Larman of local Leeds queer-bookshop "The Bookish Type".

We chat about our favourite reads and recommendations for this December, and what it's been like STARTING a business during the 2020 Pandemic.

(Also please check out their website, it's a wonderful shop ^^)
