I feel like I don’t do enough podcasts, so it was a great thrill to do this interview with the mighty International Churchill Society.

With Halloween looming, the @bookclubpodhq team checks in to the Overlook Hotel to explore the story behind Stephen King's bestseller THE SHINING.
The origins of the book - the appeal of horror in the 1970s - the differences between the novel and Kubrick's film - and more!

‘Of all the books I have ever reviewed that purported to offer a serious thesis, this is without question the most deranged.’

#OTD in 1805, the Royal Navy defeated the combined forces of France and Spain at Trafalgar.
The tactical brilliance, professionalism, technology and training which underpinned Adm Lord Nelson’s stunning victory have driven and shaped the Navy ever since.

In today's @bookclubpodhq we're in St Petersburg in 1848 for an unlikely social media sensation - Fydor Dostoyevsky's novella WHITE NIGHTS.
Why has this tale of loneliness and unrequited love struck such a chord with Gen Z readers? And what does it tells us about Tsarist Russia?

In today's @bookclubpodhq Tabby and I are in New York in 1953, exploring the story behind Sylvia Plath's midcentury classic THE BELL JAR.
We discuss Plath's troubled life and the context of Eisenhower's America - and, of course, the book's pioneering depiction of depression.
