Come my own ones, come my fair ones, come now unto me, would you fancy a new podcast that has just come from WELL NOT REALLY THE SEA but for the sake of the rhyme. It’s Podcast Wednesday, and Whiskey Jenny is back and y’all maybe (maaaaaaaaaaaaybe) missed her almost as much as I did! We resume rereading Lord of the Rings, get slightly heated on the topic of Goldberry, chat about the summer books we’re looking forward to, and review (kinda) Hiromi Kawakami’s The Nakano Thrift Shop.
