They're BACK!!

After a sporadic but entertaining first season, Will Carver and SJ Watson return for more talk about books and the literary world, while sampling a few drinks along the way.

In this first episode of the new season, they discuss VOICE. What is a writing voice? Who are the most distinctive writers? What does it mean to have a voice? And does it affect success?

Current reads include, Ring, The Puppet Master and Christ on a Bike, and in the news they discuss AI again – this time with regard to apps that condense novels into a more 'manageable' size – and the fact that Will Dean has a new jacket...

There's also a new guest spot for Debbie from Dudley as Sandra, sadly, makes way for a new super-fan.

In this special publication-day episode, Will and Steve are recording live at Fourbears Books for the launch of Will's latest book, UPSTAIRS AT THE BERESFORD, where they will be talking about what should be the most exciting part of the process and how it has changed from when they started.

There are questions from the live audience as well as the usual probing insights from Kidderminster's very own Sandra.

This week we get a little more serious and talk about failure. Weirdly, Steve has a lot more to discuss...

How do we fail? Why do we fail? Is it always a way to learn? Can writing save us?

All of these questions will be answered along with more probing insights by Sandra from Kidderminster.

We also try recording remotely, rather than in the snazzy Soho podcast studio.

There is also a discussion about Murakami but it went on too long and was edited out.
