Show notes

Welcome to Book Chat! A new monthly books podcast hosted by Pandora Sykes and Bobby Palmer, which does what it says on the tin: we each bring one book, and we chat. Our one rule? The books have to be more than 2 years old. For our inaugural episode, Bobby has chosen Tin Man by Sarah Winman, and Pandora has chosen Tales of the City, by Armistead Maupin. So join us for a meaty book chat and beware for those who have not read the books: there will be spoilers.

Other books mentioned:

The Happy Couple by Naoise Dolan

The Arrest by Jonathan Lethem

Normal People by Sally Rooney

Grief is the Thing With Feathers by Max Porter

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

A Man Called Ove by Fredrick Backman

When God Was A Rabbit and Still Life by Sarah Winman

Further Tales of The City, Babycakes and Michael Tolliver Lives, by Armistead Maupin
