From the Oasthouse: The Alan Partridge Podcast (Series 2) -

‘The Bullet That Missed’ - by Richard Osman

Wednesday, October 5, 2022 • Duration 37:05

Steve Phillips and Matthew Layton present #AudioBookClub - a podcast that recommends and reviews audiobooks.

On this episode:

‘The Bullet That Missed’ Book 3 of Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club series of whodunnits set in idyllic retirement village Coopers Chase.

For people (like Matthew) who have read the first two books in the series, it’s the eagerly awaited return of beloved characters Joyce, Elizabeth, Ron and Ibrahim.

For people (like Steve) who are new to the seriesm it’s a chance to follow the adventures of a group of senior citizens who have taken to solving murders. Society may have cast them aside, but they are fully rounded human beings with a wealth of experience.

In our role as one of the world’s very few audiobook review and recommendation podcasts, we feel it is our duty to bring up the issue that nobody else is talking about - to mention the elephant in the room:

Changing a narrator? Three books into an audiobook series?

Is that even legal?

Please get involved in the conversation - either with your opinions on ‘The Bullet That Missed’ or if you want to recommend an audiobook for us to review by using #AudioBookClub on facebook, twitter or instagram.

'The Lazarus Heist' - with Geoff White

Saturday, August 20, 2022 • Duration 42:13

On this episode of #AudioBookClub - no longer the world's only interactive audiobook review and recommendation podcast - Steve and Matthew speak to journalist and author Geoff White about his new audiobook 'The Lazarus Heist'.

The book is based on the BBC's award winning podcast series of the same name and, in both formats, Geoff tells the story of the Lazarus Group - an elite group of North Korean government-backed hackers.

This is the first time we've encountered an audiobook based on a podcast series, so we ask ourselves and Geoff what the difference between the two formats is, both for him as an author/journalist/presenter and for us as listeners.

We also touch upon the differences between working for the BBC and for a publishing company like Penguin; and Geoff reminds us that while we haven't necessarily seen many visible signs of any cyber fallout from the war in Ukraine, there is a lot of defensive effort being undertaken in places like GCHQ and Fort Meade.
