  • Gina Goldhammer
    Nov 4 2025

    Gina Goldhammer has led an extraordinary life. The daughter of a high-ranking Cold War defector, she spent two decades as literary editor to former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, working with him on all his books, including his seminal work, Diplomacy.

    Now in her 70s, she has published her debut novel, Where Snowbirds Play, a keenly observed glimpse into the opulent world of 1990s Palm Beach, where the appointment of a young British graduate to run the new marine life institute exposes secrets, rivalries and financial scandal.

    By turns witty and poignant, the novel paints an unforgettable portrait of an enclave awash with money and ruled by a triumvirate of fearsome matriarchs determined to maintain the status quo at any cost.

    Join Gina and Red as they explore marine ecology, faith, ghost writing, and Henry Kissinger.

  • Dervla McTiernan
    Oct 6 2025

    Dervla McTiernan has won international acclaim for her crime fiction, with both her stand-alone thrillers and gritty police procedurals consistently topping the best-seller lists.

    Her much-loved Detective Cormac Reilly series, set in Ireland and narrated by Aoife McMahon, has become something of an audiobook sensation, even outselling the print editions!

    The fourth book in the series, The Unquiet Grave, sees Cormac investigating a body in a bog that bears all the hallmarks of an ancient ritual human sacrifice. But this is anything but a cold case, and he is drawn into a web of cybercrime and deceit.

    Join Dervla and Red as they discuss ancient burials, modern working practices and the latest wave of Irish emigration.

  • Will Carver
    Sep 22 2025

    Will Carver has been dubbed ‘the most original writer in Britain’. His ability to blend dark humour with explosive plots encompassing elements of mystery, thriller, sci-fi and speculative fiction has won him a cult following around the world.

    His latest novel, Kill Them With Kindness, is a sharply satirical alt. history of the Pandemic. When a Japanese scientist thwarts an international plot to release a deadly virus, by adding a mutation to make people more compassionate, it has profound and unintended consequences!

    Join Will and Red as they discuss how to tackle recent history in fiction, and the way in which tragedy can bring out both the best and the worst in people.
