In support of Ukraine we would like to point you in the direction of Book Aid for Ukraine, an amazing bookish auction with a whole host of items from signed books, agent 1:1s, book shopping trips with authors, workshops and lots more. Friend of the pod Abigail Mann is auctioning her amazing Write Funny Workshop, which Jenny can vouch is excellent!

It's a book club episode! Jenny, Chris and Alice share their thoughts on The Mad Women's Ball by Victoria Mas, translated by Frank Wynne, as well as recent and current reads. Recorded on 1st March, much hilarity ensued as Jenny and Alice introduce Chris to the concept of pancake day and dressing as a Welsh Lady.
