Episode 48: A literary blind date - with Sarah Manvel

We have a confession to make at The Hobcast Book Show. Our plans unravelled following a medical drama, so we had to launch an appeal for a guest this week at the last minute. Kindly, the brilliant Sarah Manvel stepped in, creating a literary podcast blind date for this week's show. Sarah is a writer and critic, and author of the hilarious semi-fictional account of dates that have gone horribly wrong. As you'll hear, You Ruin It When You Talk is Sarah's first book, but she's determined that it won't be her last. It's a fascinating conversation.

Also this week, Adrian and Rebecca discuss further shake-ups in the indie publishing world, and how supply chain issues are forcing publishers to order print runs 9 months ahead of release dates.
