In this podcast we review recent film-of-the-book, The Salt Path, which stars Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs. It’s based on Raynor Wynn’s best-selling memoir of the same name which we read and reviewed in 2019. We liked the book a lot – will the film live up to it?
And with high summer almost upon us, Holly and Darren share some summer recommendations: a cheerful mix of books, TV programmes, podcasts and music.
As always, we love it when you get in touch! What is on your summer playlist? Any other recommendations for us? You can comment here on this website or contact us on Facebook OR try out our Substack and chat with us there.
