september 2026: memoirs
We had the pleasure of @KeriBooks (https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCXusuLxcEapdoX_5HatV8GA) joining us on the pod this month to chat all things memoir with @JennyKing (https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCJtjFaMZP7v67mBhL31kKAQ) With a penchant for cults, death, narrative gimmicks and celebrity memoirs, we hope we've lightened the tone with a few dogs thrown in there too! Also, Sarah actually loved Enlightenment by Sarah Perry! Jenny is a fool.

{from the archives} books about grief
This episode, from February 2023, was a special request from a listener. Sarah and Jenny discuss their experiences with grief and recommend some reads, we promise it's not completely depressing! That being said we do discuss cancer, miscarriage, suicide, sudden death and more, so if you find these topics upsetting then please do give this episode a miss. We hope you enjoy the episode and if you've got any other special requests send them our way!
