I’m not one for a real-life book club, so I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Sara Pascoe and Cariad Lloyd’s audio version, Sara & Cariad’s Weirdos Book Club. Not that I don’t love both Pascoe and Lloyd as performers, and Lloyd’s long-established Griefcast is a wonderful thing (it’s on hiatus at the moment). Anyway, last week saw the start of Weirdos Book Club’s second season and I’ve heard the first two episodes, both of which I loved, despite not knowing either of the books discussed: Standard Deviation by Katherine Heiny and The Whale Tattoo by Jon Ransom. Maybe I just slot right in with the weirdos (no one involved is that weird, really. Maybe Pascoe, a little bit).
