Great episode (as always). The origins of the Penguin paperbacks was very informative. And Jules Burt is a perfect guest. I follow him on YouTube and Instagram and his book collection is a thing to behold

I do really enjoy this podcast but the music is out of sync and distracting. I'd prefer no music at all.

Simply Outstanding!. Love how the episodes vary between actual crimes that inspired novelists and the elements and the fundamentals of a detective novel, it's so fascinating. The music as well adds a ton to the experience. ps: Caroline Crampton is a national treasure.

Love the idea of real life mysteries & love the easy & conversational style. The music at the beginning & end of the episode is very good. However, I find the bits of music playing during the conversation very distracting - would much prefer a podcast without background music!
