Welcome to Tsundoku – the podcast for addicted readers.  Tsundoku is the Japanese word for that pile of books by your bed – the ones you fully intend to read – sometime!  If you can’t resist a good story, are endlessly curious about new books and love nothing better than discussing an old favourite – this is the podcast for you. In Tsundoku we’ll talk to the authors of the moment, we’ll pull out the ‘hits and memories’ from years past and chat them back into life, and we’ll talk to readers from all walks of life about how they acquired their reading passion, their all time favourites … and what books they have waiting in their Tsundoku.
