2. Burning Books Ireland

Follow Play
Website Apple Spotify
The Books Ireland podcast features authors and well-known cultural figures discussing the titles that have formed the backdrop to their lives—their childhood memories perhaps, or books they fell in love with. Maybe there are authors they return to over and over, or novels which formed their world view—stories that shaped them or books which offered a refuge or a life raft. Editor Ruth McKee asks each guest which books they'd save, which they'd leave behind, and what other non-book treasure they would rescue from the flames.MORE Host Ruth McKee
