The Book Club

INSIDE THE WORLD OF BOOKS

The Book Club is a podcast fronted by Dominic Sandbrook and Tabitha Syrett.

The show brings the historical context behind some of the world’s most loved books to life.

Every week, the hosts explore a classic or contemporary title, unpacking the world in which it was written and the story behind the author.

This is not your typical literature podcast: The Book Club educates and entertains, leaving you with a new understanding of some of the greatest stories ever told.
