The Weekend Booktopian - 16th July 2021

Welcome to The Weekend Booktopian, our weekly podcast to kick off your weekend! Our team will give you the low down on all things book news related, and turn you on to the books that we are reading right now! For our fifty-second episode Olivia hosts Ben, Nick and Scott as we discuss the winner of the 2021 Miles Franklin Award. We then give you our latest round of book recommendations, before another edition of Book Fight! Producer's Note: the podcast unfortunately dropped out as Ben was introducing 'The Precipice', so apologies for the small gap in the interview.
