Bears with Hannah Gold and Sophy Henn

Season 3 · Episode 3

Tuesday, September 26, 2023 • Duration 45:40

Pack your marmalade sandwiches, because this week we're going on a bear hunt - and we're NOT scared.

Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear, and Sophy Henn, writer and illustrator of Where Bear? join Sam on a quest through the rabbit hole's bookshelves to find the best bears in children's fiction. Along the way, we discover why bears are especially good animals to draw in picture books, hear the unexpectedly horrific origin story of the teddy bear, and try to work out why bears are so over-represented in the bookshop menagerie.

In short: "Bears! Why do we like 'em so much?"

Season 3 · Episode 2

Tuesday, September 19, 2023 • Duration 39:53

This week we're joined by two brilliant writers to discuss the role feminism has played in Young Adult novels.

Laura Bates, creator of Everyday Sexism and the author of Men Who Hate Women now brings us Sisters of Sword and Shadow, an epic YA fantasy reimagining Arthurian legend with a fearless sisterhood of knights.

And Holly Bourne, bestselling author of Am I Normal Yet? and The Places I've Cried in Public, returns to our bookshelves with You Could Be So Pretty, a gripping dystopian thriller that puts modern beauty standards under the microscope.

Together we talk through the challenges and opportunities YA fiction presents when engaging with feminism, and share some of our favourite recommendations for YA books that are written by and about women.
