In this month’s podcast we’re celebrating the release of the Penguin Shorts, our new straight-to-digital series featuring some of our best writers.
The podcast features an interview with Venetia Butterfield, Publishing Director at Viking, in which she explains the thinking behind the Penguin Shorts. There’s also an extract from the audiobook edition of Colm Tóibín’s contribution, A Guest at the Feast, a captivating memoir of a writer coming of age and his connections between home, work and love. And finally we have an interview with Colm himself, in which he discusses a writer's approach to the short form and how it works for memoir.
