‘In The Bookshop’ is a podcast about books, usually recorded in an actual bookshop - George Street Community Bookshop - in Glossop, Derbyshire, UK. However, at the moment we are recording remotely (and safely) but the premise remains the same - we invite guests onto the podcast to talk about some of their favourite books with shop manager Steve Roberts.
Joining us 'In The Bookshop' for this episode is author and broadcaster David Hepworth, who been writing, broadcasting and speaking about music and media since the 1970s. He was involved in the launch and editing of magazines such as Smash Hits, Q, Mojo and The Word, among many others. As a broadcaster, he was one of the presenters of The Old Grey Whistle Test in the 1980s and one of the anchors of the BBC’s coverage of Live Aid in 1985.
These days, he’s the author of a string of best-selling music books, the latest of which is Overpaid, Oversexed And Over There. He’s also a prolific podcaster, co-hosting the ‘Word In Your Ear’ podcast and YouTube spin-off ‘Word In Your Attic’ with his friend and former colleague Mark Ellen.
The books discussed are:
Weekend Wodehouse - a collection of P.G. Wodehouse
Awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom - Nik Cohn
The Day of The Jackal - Frederick Forsyth
The Custom of the Country - Edith Wharton
The Warmth of Other Suns - Isabel Wilkerson

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
