In Episode 12 of the EWBR podcast, Anisha & Dhruv discuss the Young Adult genre in fiction – marketing ploy or the real deal? For all you Potterheads out there, before there was Potter, there was Ged – we talk about Ursula Le Guin’s epic Earthsea series and in the non-fantasy space, Weightless by Sarah Bannan. Then there’s Michaela Coel’s searing and very, very relevant TV drama of consent in this day and age, I May Destroy You. Finally, Anisha’s been having a bit of a salad love-in, so more on that and the ever reliable flavour gurus Meera Sodha, Ottolenghi and Sabrina Ghayour. (The links below are affiliate links.
