  • We Read Charlotte's Web
    May 19 2026

    Just like women be shopping, E. B. White. And White's 1952 novel Charlotte's Web is a blackly comical tear-jerker about a spider coming to the aid of a pig who doesn't want to be eaten. Are Eleanor and Alasdair fans of spiders? Or are we absolutely terrified of them?

    Well, what do you think? Based on everything you know about us, do you think we like spiders?

  • We Read Johnny and the Bomb
    Apr 19 2026

    Eleanor and Alasdair step into the trousers of time, with Terry Pratchett's 1996 novel Johnny and the Bomb. Five inept British teens find themselves in World War Two with bags of time on their hands.

    Was Johnny and the Bomb "The Bomb"? Or will it bomb in our estimation? And who were the real baddies in WW2?

    (It was the Nazis.)

  • We Read The Cat in the Hat & The Tiger Who Came to Tea
    Mar 19 2026

    1957–1968 was a golden age of big cats breaking into kids' houses and smashing up the joint. For this episode, Eleanor & Alasdair read Dr Seuss's The Cat in the Hat and Judith Kerr's The Tiger Who Came to Tea. We aim to decide, scientifically, which of the two books is best (with absolutely no favouritism shown towards the one we obviously like more).

    Will we like the American one?

    Perhaps we'll find it much more fun?

    Of course, there's not much chance of that.

    'Cos Eleanor hates that creepy cat.

I was really excited to hear that Eleanor and Alasdair were doing a podcast and I was not disappointed. Funny, insightful and very easy listening, even on repeat. They've got a fun sibling energy and I'm looking forward to the other books they cover in the future

Very entertaining and funny
