Emerging From the Rabbit Hole

Season 3, Ep. 8

Welcome back to You Heard It Here First – the go-to podcast for finding your new favourite listen on Audible. How do you feel about being transported back to Harlem in the 60s? Perhaps a hard-hitting documentary series will scratch that investigative journalism itch? Rest assured we've got you, whatever your mood.

We also fall down the rabbit hole with our guests! Audible editor Robin wants you to join him in investigating his intriguing conspiracy theory podcast recommendation, and sustainability activist and author Aja Barber opts for a GCSE English classic which is a much better read as an adult!
