In Season 5 Episode 10 we discuss ‘And Then There Were None’ by Agatha Christie. First published in 1939 under a different and highly controversial title, it is the world's best-selling mystery. Join us as we round off our season of classics with our special guest, Madina, as we talk about red herrings, rhymes and recent TV adaptations.

In Season 5 Episode 4 we talk about The Call of the Wild by Jack London. First published in 1903 in a serialized format, it tells the story of Buck, a dog stolen from his home in California and sold into service as a sled dog in Alaska during the 1890’s Klondike Gold Rush. Join us as we discuss this moving story of survival and Buck’s return to primitivism, and hear our thoughts on how this book explores human nature, its depiction of violence and whether or not it has stood the test of time.

In Season 5 Episode 2, we continue our season of classics with Dodie Smith’s coming of age story ‘I Capture the Castle.’ Published in 1948, it is the most recently released book we will be covering this season. Join us to hear our thoughts on young love, marrying for money, writer’s block and romantic depictions of the British countryside.
