The Binge Reading Bookclub Podcast

Introducing the brand new show - Speed Binges - where your roguish and lovable hosts Nicholas Binge and Hugo Powell will talk about a wide variety of their favorite media, from films to shows, books to albums, nothing is off limits.

For this first episode we read Extremity by our very own Nicholas Binge. A procedural crime drama turned Sci-fi thriller, Extremity explores the impact of late stage capitalism on mankind with uncanny mysteries and clever narrative devices. We decide which actors would best star in each role, whether authors set out to write works specifically to be adapted to TV or film, and answers once and for all what happens at the end of the story. 

Join us again for the mainline Binge Reading Bookclub episode on the 26th February for Extremity by Ian M Banks with special guest David Goodman.
