In this month’s episode…

Richard and Margaret welcome Ben Aaronovitch onto the podcast. The interview was recorded a few weeks ahead of the publication of the Masquerades of Spring and we discuss the origins of the series, cover the novels, novellas and graphic novels and look to the future.

Along the way Ben reveals:

• What order the books originally were supposed to be released in


• When book ten and eleven are set


• How Molly was not supposed to be a regular character


• Ben’s writing process


• What the graphic novels can do that the books just can’t


• The latest status of ‘Schroedinger’s TV series’, and the potential challenges of casting Nightingale


• The timetable for the next main novels.

Hosted by Margaret Holborn and Richard Marks,

Produced by Richard Marks for Uncertain Smile productions
