Jack and Geraint do not actually review any books, but - joined in the first of two episodes by friend of the show and national hero Pete AKA McCats (@tonepolicing on Twitter) - do discuss three topics pertaining to literature.

Finally, we look at the forthcoming "difficult second book" by James O'Brien.
