Those who listen to my podcast with Rachel, Tea or Books?, may have heard that we’re doing a Q&A episode for our (gasp!) 50th. We’re actually recording episode 49 next Monday, but I wanted to give a bit of time to people who might want to ask questions. We’ve had some fantastic ones in via email, but I thought I’d do a blog post so you can ask questions here, should you so wish.
Ask us anything – about making the podcast, about books, about our other interests. Go wild! I imagine we’ll answer all of them, unless there is an unexpected deluge.
Firstly, thanks for the fantastic podcast, which I so enjoy listening to.
My question is – could you each name your favourite literary decade and say why you have chosen it?
A possible future discussion suggestion?
Evelyn Waugh or W. Somerset Maugham?
How did you first get to know each other? How did you get started with the podcast?
Yours is my favorite podcast. Please keep going!
Simon…..we know you recently got a new job. Can you tell us what you’re doing now?
I thought you worked in 2 part time jobs–a library and a publishers.I must have missed this change of job.
Rachel…..I loved reading the beginning of your book. Will you be finishing it soon?
If you could each pick one desert island book each- what would it be and why?
If you had to choose just *one* author to read for the rest of your life, could you do that? And who would it be????
Where is your favorite place to read? Any necessary accoutrements?
Which deceased author would you. most like to meet and talk to?
And which living author?
Deb
What are your other hobbies besides reading? And what podcasts (on any subject) do you enjoy/recommend?
Hi, do you ever fear that you spend too much time reading about the books you want to read instead of just reading the books you want to read? If so, why do you reckon you do that? Uh, asking for a friend
Mary Wesley – thoughts ??
A cookbook released this year called the little library cookbook seeks to show how food and books are linked to memory. Throughout your time reading books are there any meals or moments around food in novels that stand out strongly for you ?
