We’re like any book group, we start talking about one book then ramble on, but for this one you don’t even have to leave home !
Presented by
Each month we choose a book, then come together to discuss it. Plus there’s music and often a guest.
Presented by Helen Ottaway, Polly Ellis and Sheila Hedges with sound engineer Ed Timoshyshyn, the On-Air Book Group is broadcast on the third Thursday of the month at 2pm and repeated the following week.
With a wide range of different books, we have covered biographies, the arts, nature, murder; we have read re-writes of the classics, and new interpretations of old legends.
