Love Elizabeth Taylor and this episode made me want to read all her novels again. A 5-minute conversation about a 5-word aside also sums up everything that's best about @Backlistedpod. #theirpooragents

Coming back to Twitter to post this then fucking off again before all the Nazi bots and automated ads for revolutionary dog-hair brushes descend.

re The Salt Path - it's very interesting that the vast majority of the one star and two star reviews on Amazon (written before this week's revelation) use the same word over and over again: unbelievable.

I saved a whole bunch of @BacklistedPod so I had them to accompany me on my churchesfest drives around Lincolnshire. This episode on Nicholas Fisk focussing on Grinny is VERY, VERY GOOD. Do give it a listen!
