  • This episode we review I Am Not Your Baby Mother by Candice Brathwaite – a must-listen for anyone who can get pregnant in Britain. Our Hidden Gem is a sombre but necessary pick, as we get real accounts of the aftermath of a natural disaster in Ghosts of the Tsunami by Richard Lloyd Parry.

    To lighten the mood we’re joined by Australian comedian and host of Audible Original Rogue Son, Nazeem Hussain, who can’t wait for you to listen to Limitless by Jim Kwik. Plus one of our Audible editors has gone down an internet rabbit hole and wants you to read Men Who Hate Women by Laura Bates. We also get a bit political with a clip from Magid Magid.
