Everything In Conversation: Issue Driven Novels, Bad Men & Surveilling Celebs with Olivia Petter

Join Beth, Ruchira and Oenone in conversation with the brilliant journalist, podcaster and author Olivia Petter.

Olivia’s debut novel Gold Rush is out now - it’s a story about consent, celebrity culture and trying to work out where women fit in a world that constantly devalues and disrespects their bodies... sounds right up our street, eh?!

We all loved the book and in this conversation we get stuck into our burning questions for Olivia - but don’t worry, the conversation is spoiler-free if you haven’t finished the book yet.

As a note of caution, this conversation does contain references to sexual violence and violence against women.

We have had some illness in the team this week, so thank you for bearing with us. We think you're going to love this chat - and we’ll be back with the usual this time next week!
