On the Road with Henry Eliot


Members will be pleased to hear that Henry Eliot is embarking on a second series of his podcast On the Road with Penguin Classics.

It launches on the 27th January, there will be six episodes and you can access all of them for free through your preferred podcast platform.

Henry has told us "I've had a wonderful time meeting fascinating guests and discussing some extraordinary works of literature." 

The full list of programmes is below and I have attached a link to a ninety second trailer.

Incidentally, you might recall I trailed the first series back in January last year and it is still available to listen to if you didn't catch it at the time. Some lovely episodes on such titles as Tristram Shandy, The Canterbury Tales and Mrs Dalloway to name but three!
