Josie and Robin and the Books on Their Desks

Book Shambles

This week our guest couldn’t make the interview at the very last minute. Which was unfortunate because obviously we wanted to talk to them and also it meant we didn’t have an episode for this week. So since Robin and Josie were already on the Zoom call, they just interviewed each other for half an hour. Hope you enjoy. Normal service will resume next week.
