Gorgeous book lovers, do we have an episode for you?! This conversation with Torrey Peters, authors of the acclaimed Detransition, Baby was one of our very favourites. We chose Torrey's book as our February book of the month, for all the ways it touches on modern love, trans identity, and queerness, as well as parenthood and what that means to each of us. In this chat, our founder Molly spoke with Torrey about her experience of trans identity and how she reflected this in Detransition, Baby, as well as the illuminating likeness Torrey presents between divorced women and trans women. We also chat excitedly about Detransition, Baby being adapted for the screen, and all the ways in which we can be empowered and educated by stories of others whose lives are so different to ours, but their desires and dreams are so similar.  You can get your copy of Detransition, Baby, alongside other amazing gifts in our monthly book subscription box, linked below!  New here?

Happy New Year, book lovers! (Better late than never!) We are so excited for you to join us in this first episode of 2022 to chat with the inspiring and illuminating author, Zaina Arafat! We talked to Zaina about our January book of the month "You Exist Too Much", and all the ways it explores selfhood, belonging, immigration, sexuality, and mental health. Zaina has created spellbinding characters that are both flawed and identifiable with modern day womanhood, and this was a perfect read to kick start the year with!  Get your copy of You Exist Too Much, alongside other amazing gifts in our subscription box, linked below!  New here?

Happy Friday, book lovers! We are so excited for you to join us in this episode to chat with decorated start up founder and author, Tahmima Anam! We were able to combine our two passions, books, and supporting female-owned businesses in this chat with this month's author. Tahmima has channelled her own observations and experiences of being a woman in the tech world, navigating sexism, misogyny, and racism, into her book, The Start Up Wife.  Tahmima is a bubbly, funny, intelligent Bangladeshi born British writer who has spent much of her life in America, where she has had experience of the start up world, being a writer of a historical fiction trilogy series, and now penning contemporary fiction titles. The Start Up Wife is a witty, satorical insight into what it means to be a woman in a world and an environment built for men. We chose The Start Up Wife as our book of the month as it fully encapsulated our Main Character Moment theme; depicting a protagonist who is strong willed, complex, flawed, and ambitious, with a strong network of amazing women around her supporting her to take back ownership of the company she built, and pave the way for sisterhood, rebellion, and respect.

Hey book lovers! In this new episode, join Issie and Molly as they talk to Oprah-approved novelist and inspiring woman, Imbolo Mbue, author of this month's book of the month, How Beautiful We Were.  We were so overjoyed to be able to pose all of our questions to Imbolo about her climate fiction, How Beautiful We Were, which we featured in our subscription boxes in pre release paperback format - which means our subscribers got their hands on the paperback early! Imbolo had so much wisdom to share about her research, everything she learned in the 19 years she was writing this novel, and about her journey as a writer, from her debut, Behold the Dreamers, to being featured in Oprah's Book Club! One thing we do want to make you aware of, is that the recording quality of this audio is not everything we wanted it to be, due to having to record Imbolo from America, and do the whole interview via Zoom! We made it work, and our podcast editor has made this sound as great as possible, and the main thing is that we can hear Imbolo and all her amazing insights, so please do excuse the quality, we were wrangling with technology throughout!

TW: This episode contains references to mental health, anxiety, depression, and there are non-explicit references to sexual assault and death.  Hello, dear book lovers! I am so thrilled to share this episode with you, an incredible, insightful discussion with psychologist and author, Dr Soph! Sophie is a registered psychologist, who quit her NHS job of 8 years to provide a more accessible platform for therapy and mental health understanding. Sophie specialises in anxiety and self esteem, and now offers remote therapy, and has an amazing social media platform full of free resources and open conversations around mental health, anxiety and how to understand and help ourselves. I spoke intimately with Sophie about her book, A Manual for Being Human, which spans from birth to adulthood in documenting how we learn about the world, our early relationships, modern dating, self esteem, and so much more. This book truly changed my life, and I'm confident it will change yours too, as will this conversation! New here?

In our second episode, I spoke with the amazing Char Ellesse, all about binaries, constructions of femininity and masculinity, and baldness. Char is the founder of Girls Will Be Boys, an online platform blurring the lines between gender roles and creating an open discussion about modern ideas of femininity and masculinity. Char is also a model and social commentator, and her creation of the OMG She’s Bald film has taken her to Amsterdam, Paris, London, and loads of other incredible installations around the world. The Girls Will be Boys platform aims to inspire freedom of expression, liberation and strength against societal stereotypes, and I so enjoyed the chat I had with Char, and learned so much from her insight and energy. I hope you love this episode as much as I did!
