Tom’s Book Club is a weekly podcast about books and the world they reflect, featuring thoughtful, unhurried conversations with some of the most interesting authors writing today. Hosted by Tom Watters, each episode goes beyond the usual questions about a new book to explore where stories come from, how writers work, the ideas behind their books and the questions they leave us with. Recent guests include Isabel Allende, John Boyne, Hernan Diaz, Roddy Doyle, Louise Kennedy, Kate Atkinson, Maggie O’Farrell, Elif Shafak and Booker Prize winners George Saunders, Samantha Harvey and David Szalay. Tom’s Book Club was shortlisted for the Independent Podcast Awards in the Books category and has been praised by The Telegraph, The Sunday Times, Radio Times and the Daily Mirror. “There's no shortage of book-related podcasts out there but this is in the top tier” — The Telegraph “A worthy rival to Radio 4’s Take Four Books” — Ra
