Sara & Cariad's Weirdos Book Club

Join comedians and authors Sara Pascoe and Cariad Lloyd in their Weirdos Book Club - a space for the lonely outsider to feel accepted and appreciated.

 

Assisted by their comedian and writer friends, each week they’ll discuss a book that is special, stimulating and y’know – weird. Welcome to your new book club! 

 

Thank you for reading with us. We like reading with you!

 

 

Sara’s debut novel Weirdo is published by Faber & Faber and is available to pre-order here.

Cariad’s book You Are Not Alone is published by Bloomsbury and is available to buy here.

    Picked up a bunch of recs from this podcast, while also enjoyed the episodes on books i’ll probably never get to.

    Ladies, you’re both fun to listen to and I appreciate your insights. But I’m just as interested in what your guests have to say: let them have equal speaking time!!
