Welcome to the silly division! Jane is off this week, but she’ll be back next week. In the meantime, Fi and Eve cover the similarities between breast-feeding and boxers, reluctant Traitors, suspicious tumble-dried banknotes, and more performative reading. Plus, they’re joined by ‘probably a public intellectual’ Robbie Millen, literary editor of The Times and The Sunday Times. He brings his silliness and his book picks for the week, including 'A Past Without Pictures' by Jonathan Ames, 'The Brightness' by Chad Harbach and 'Never Say War' by Åsne Seierstad.

Welcome to Thursday! Fi’s still off with illness and Jane remains in Liverpool, so frankly, morale could do with a boost... Luckily, we’ve got just the thing.

Fi is powering through, this time with not-ill-yet producer Rosie. They chat right wing dogs, living the high life in the C-suite, and launching a radio station in a pandemic (we don't recommend it).Liane Moriarty also joins Fi to talk about her new book 'Big Little Truths'You can buy tickets to the Cheltenham Literature Festival here: www.cheltenhamfestivals.org/events/jane-garvey-and-fi-glover-with-anneka-riceYou can check out our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@OffAirWithJaneAndFiOur most asked-about book is called The Later Years by Peter Thornton.If you want to contact the show, ask a question or get involved in the conversation, please email us: janeandfi@times.radioFollow us on Instagram! @janeandfiPodcast Producer: Eve SalusburyExecutive Producer: Rosie Cutler

Fi is back, and right now, where there is Fi, there is her cough. We advise listening at a distance. Jane is still in Liverpool with her family, so Eve sits in. Fi and Eve cover uniforms, road rage, planting a placenta under a pear tree, and a geisha version of Barbara Cartland... Plus, Robbie Millen, literary editor of The Times and The Sunday Times, bursts into the studio to share his book picks. Robbie recommends 'The End of Everything' by M. John Harrison, 'Dodge City' by Patrick deWitt, and 'Hotel Exile' by Jane Rogoyska.

Fi's got a cough, which she thinks she got from Eve, who thinks she got it from Jane. It's a cough train – the worst kind. Bear with us... In between coughs, Fi and Eve chat Fi's new iron, the joys of book clubs, male aggression in the wild, and the rise of athleisure. Plus, journalist Matthew Sweet discusses his new book 'The Great Dictator: A Life of Barbara Cartland'.

It's the good ship Fi and Eve sailing out of port again, as Jane is in Liverpool with family.
