Educating Daisy
Audible, all episodes out now
Daisy May Cooper’s podcast is based on the fact that she hasn’t read a book since doing GCSE English. Celebrity guests bring a novel, extol its brilliance and hope to succeed in educating the host (pictured below). It’s a raucous, silly listen. Her guess at the subject of Tim Key’s choice, The Diary of a Nobody? “Curb Your Enthusiasm in Victorian times, where he’s complaining about shoe shines, penny farthings and the workhouses.” Not bad, actually.
