https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Tea-or-Books-episode-59.mp3
In the first half of this episode, we look at holiday reading – chiefly whether we prefer easy or difficult books when we go off on holiday, but we also look at other potential reading options. In the second half, we look at two novels by the wonderful Shirley Jackson – We Have Always Lived in the Castle and The Haunting of Hill House.

https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Tea-or-Books-episode-58.mp3
I can hardly believe that we’ve not done an episode on book groups before – but here we are! In the first half, Rachel and I talk about whether or not we’re in book groups, and what would constitute our ideal book group. In the second half, we discuss Rebecca West’s 1956 novel The Fountain Overflows and compare it with Rosamond Lehmann’s 1932 novel Invitation to the Waltz – both the beginning of series, and both about young women enter...

MPavilionMTalks—High Density Happiness—Developing Policy • 25 Oct 2016The conversation around architectural design at all levels—from breakfast bars to boardrooms—has rarely been louder. And with Victoria looking at introducing an apartment design standards framework, this panel focuses on suggested improvements to the design review process, minimum size standards and aesthetic guidelines that would support quality, adaptable and sustainable housing. With these changes firmly in their minds, listen back to Minister for Planning Richard Wynne, Simon Knott of BKK Architects, James Tutton from Neometro, and director of MAArchitects Karen Alcock for this MTalks event brought to you by Open Journal. If you’re interested in the way we liv...

Shakespeare! That’s right, we’re getting very classy and/or GCSE English in our discussion of his comedies and tragedies – following a fairly haphazard chat about child narrators vs adult narrators. This is what happens when Rachel only tells me the topic we’re going to cover mere moments before we start recording.
We’re always on the look-out for suggestions for future episodes (srsly, we’re running out) – so let us know in the comments if you have any thoughts. You’ll definitely get a name check – unli...

Happy endings? Sad endings? And a couple of Elizabeth von Arnim novels – we have a fun, albeit somewhat sickly episode. It makes me think of my favourite, my-missed sitcom Happy Endings, but we’re actually talking about whether we prefer books to be cheerful or miserable at the end (or, indeed, something in between). Spoilers alert, unsurprisingly – and thanks, Faith, for your suggestion. In the second half of the podcast, we talk about one of our favourite writers, Elizabeth von Arnim, and stage a battle between her two most fam...

Ebooks! Books! Nancy Mitford! Evelyn Waugh! We’ve got it all for you in episode 11, as we turn our attention to the well-worn path of ebooks vs paper books/tree books/real books (whatever you want to call them) and to Nancy Mitford vs Evelyn Waugh. We’d love to hear your views on these topics, particularly suggestions for Miford or Waugh books to read. Download through your podcast app of choice, or via our iTunes page.
Suggestions for future topics couldn’t be more welcome – particularly if they c...

In this episode Dodie Smith’s much-loved I Capture the Castle goes up against Diana Tutton’s lesser-known Guard Your Daughters, and we debate the merits of biographies and autobiographies.
Somewhat to my surprise, we didn’t actually end up talking about all that many individual books – the list is below – so do let us know which biographies and autobiographies you particularly love (and which you’d choose if you had to make the Tea or Books? decision!)

Fictional mothers vs fictional fathers and Dickens on the page vs Dickens on screen in this episode of Tea or Books? – and I think Rachel and I are at our most rambling. What can I say, we had a lot of thoughts and a lot of books to suggest – but we would obviously love to hear your thoughts too. Jump in the comments if you have strong feelings on either of the topics we discuss – or if you have ideas for future discussions.
