Jeff Garlin

Season 7, Episode 1

We kick of Season 7 with the stand up, writer, director and actor Jeff Garlin, who you may know best as Larry David’s agent Jeff from Curb Your Enthusiasm. Robin and Josie chat with Jeff about comic books, Madame Bovary, great books about trees and making sure you don’t confuse Iain Banks with Iain Rankin.

New Patreon rewards tiers have been introduced. Find out how to get involved and maybe even be a guest on the show yourself at patreon.com/bookshambles
