Welcome to Reading Materials, a bookish podcast by long-time friends and self-declared bookworms, Corrie and Lucia.

We met at university and bonded over Harry Potter.

In the intervening half-a-lifetime we’ve both moved job, house, city and country numerous times; met, fallen in love with and married wonderful humans; had some real highs and some horrendous lows; and our experiences through all of this tie us together and help inform our discussions about all things bookish!
