Chapters Podcast

Chapters is a major new podcast, bringing together some of the most celebrated and bestselling authors and illustrators of our time.

Hosted by broadcaster and journalist, Hannah MacInnes, each episode invites The British Book Awards-shortlisted writers into an intimate conversation about the books that shaped them, the childhood reads that first sparked their imaginations, the novels that changed their thinking, and the well-thumbed favourites they return to time and again.

Recorded inside independent bookshops, the series pairs literary star power with the warmth and authenticity of the spaces that sustain reading culture. Alongside reflections on their formative influences, guests also discuss their shortlisted work, offering listeners a rare insight into the creative lives behind today’s most talked-about books.

Insightful, nostalgic and full of literary passion, Chapters is a celebration of storytelling and of the writers shaping the cultural conversation right now.
