SIM Ep 81 Chops 25: Literary gems

It's two for the price of one on Chops this week. This plate is a pile of delicious reading, as suggested by Anne Miller, our books expert, QI elf and all-round top bird. She brought three books into the studio: Lucy Mangan's Bookworm, Joanna Cannon's Three Things About Elsie and Gail Honeyman's Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine. The chat also includes tales of Hannah's hunts for land-based smugglers, Mick's adventures with fighty mice and the joyous image of pensioners at the Whitby Goth Weekender. If you need us, we'll be pushing hard on the back of a wardrobe with hope in our eyes and Narnia in our heart. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast.
