While you whizz away, or sit back and relax, you can listen to the conversations at our fictional bookshop, which we have affectionately named My Weekly’s Magical Flying Bookshop. Enjoy a cosy chat, served with a slice of a story read by the author, along with a review of the latest books.
Podcast creator Claire Gill says,
“Our research showed that our readers were starting to listen to podcasts, coupled with the fantastic response we had from our live event with author Adele Parks, a gem of an idea started to form in my mind – a podcast. It needed to be atmospheric, keeping in with My Weekly’s brand and ultimately something for the readers, time for themselves.
It’s been so exciting to see the concept come to life with so many big authors involved.
Series 1 includes My Weekly favourites Ann Cleeves, Sophie Kinsella, Dr Hilary Jones and Dorothy Koomson, amongst others – and a new episode will launch every Thursday! Listen to our trailer now.
