A new monthly books podcast hosted by Pandora Sykes and Bobby Palmer, which&nbsp;does what it says on the tin: we each bring one book, and we chat. Our one rule? The books have to be more than 2 years old. For our inaugural&nbsp;episode, Bobby has chosen Tin Man by Sarah Winman, and Pandora has chosen Tales of the City, by Armistead Maupin. So join us for a meaty book chat and beware for those who have not read the books: there&nbsp;<em>will</em>&nbsp;be spoilers.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Other books mentioned:</strong></p><p>The Happy Couple by Naoise Dolan</p><p>The Arrest by Jonathan Lethem</p><p>Normal People by Sally Rooney</p><p>Grief is the Thing With Feathers by Max Porter</p><p>Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin</p><p>A Man Called Ove by Fredrick Backman</p><p>When God Was A Rabbit and Still Life by Sarah Winman</p><p>Further Tales of The City, Babycakes and Michael Tolliver Lives, by Armistead Maupin</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Clip attributions:</strong></p><p>Sarah Winman on Writer’s Bone podcast, 2018</p><p>Armistead Maupin on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, 2007</p><p>Ian McKellan reads Letter to Mama for Letters Live, 2017</p><p><br></p><p><strong>You can get in touch with us at&nbsp;</strong><a href=\"mailto:bookchatpod@gmail.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><em>bookchatpod@gmail.com</em></strong></a></p><p><strong>Sound by Joel Grove and production by Pandora Sykes.</strong></p>","author_name":"Pandora Sykes"}
