april 2026: welcome back, what we're reading and podcast plans
21 Apr 2026
00:47:48
In our very first episode of the year, Jenny, Belle and Sarah are back and we’re kicking things off with a big update! We’re moving away from seasons and switching to a monthly episode format, and in this episode we chat through why the change felt right for us (and hopefully for you too).
Alongside that, it’s a proper catch-up - what we’ve been reading, what we’ve been loving, and how our reading year is shaping up so far. Expect plenty of bookish tangents, honest thoughts, and the usual cosy, conversational vibes as we ease into a new year of the podcast.
We’ll also be sharing more over on our Patreon each month, alongside the main episodes, if you’d like to support the show and get extra content, you can join us here: https://www.patreon.com/c/bookcastclub
