Welcome to the silly division! Jane is off this week, but she’ll be back next week. In the meantime, Fi and Eve cover the similarities between breast-feeding and boxers, reluctant Traitors, suspicious tumble-dried banknotes, and more performative reading.


Plus, they’re joined by ‘probably a public intellectual’ Robbie Millen, literary editor of The Times and The Sunday Times. He brings his silliness and his book picks for the week, including 'A Past Without Pictures' by Jonathan Ames, 'The Brightness' by Chad Harbach and 'Never Say War' by Åsne Seierstad.


Jane and Fi will be reunited at Cheltenham Literature Festival this Thursday. You can buy tickets here: www.cheltenhamfestivals.org/events/jane-garvey-and-fi-glover-with-anneka-rice
