Tim and Suzie are in holiday mood, so this months Talking Books is a bumper interview edition, chosen by listeners.  It's fitting that first up is Martin Muncaster, the best radio voice ever, who was inspired to write his life story after the loss of many loved ones.  Now we have lost him too, but this segment celebrates his passion for broadcasting.

Another popular choice from 2022: Nigel Richardson, whose book The Accidental Detectorist: Uncovering an Underground Obsession is out in paperback.

Last up are award-winning authors Kathryn Evans, author of Beaty Sleep, and Sue Walman, author of Every Word a Lie.  Interviewed in July last year, a listener liked sharing this chat between friends.
