Bonus: Patreon Sneak Peek: The Booker Prize 2024 with Emma Hinds

As there's no recorded episode this week and this is also the week of the 2024 Booker Prize shortlist announcement, I thought I'd take the chance to share a sneak peek of a recent Patreon episode where Emma and I chat about The Booker Prize longlist, the books we read from the list, our predictions for the shortlist (how many did we get right?) and the books we're excited to get to.
