Villains or virtuous folk? No, not describing your hosts Rachel (Book Snob) and me, but enquiring into our favourite types of characters. In the second half, we look at two books by Mollie Panter-Downes: One Fine Day and London War Notes, comparing novel and non-fiction (and ultimately, of course, loving both).

I think I left the window open again. Oops… sorry if the sound quality is affected once again. Let’s face it, if you were after stark professionalism then you’d have given up on us ages ago. Anyway, check us out via your podcast downloader of choice, or via our iTunes page.
