Stig Abell’s Guide to Reading

by

For a whole year on his train to work, Stig Abell read books from across genres and time periods. Then he wrote about them, and their impact on our culture and his own life.

In this brand new podcast, Stig talks to guests about their favourite books and tries to get to the bottom of what makes them so good. Episodes focus on a range of genres, from Crime to Classics, from Poetry to Shakespeare’s Plays. It’s a lively and funny celebration of the power of words, as well as a guide to discover new books to love and remind you of the ones that you already do.

The podcast accompanies Stig’s book THINGS I LEARNED ON THE 6.28: A GUIDE TO DAILY READING, published by John Murray Press on 12th November 2020.
