Off Air with Jane & Fi

Fi is back, and right now, where there is Fi, there is her cough. We advise listening at a distance. Jane is still in Liverpool with her family, so Eve sits in. Fi and Eve cover uniforms, road rage, planting a placenta under a pear tree, and a geisha version of Barbara Cartland...

Plus, Robbie Millen, literary editor of The Times and The Sunday Times, bursts into the studio to share his book picks. Robbie recommends 'The End of Everything' by M. John Harrison, 'Dodge City' by Patrick deWitt, and 'Hotel Exile' by Jane Rogoyska.

Plus, journalist Matthew Sweet discusses his new book 'The Great Dictator: A Life of Barbara Cartland'.
