“Mice — whatever it means to you.“   Chatter rolls with Claude, David, Jamie, and Torie.  They break down the CAPs resurgence and a great 2018 moment — off the ice and in the water.  They debate what's behind the  resurgence of brick and mortar book stores.   Award winning author Charlotte Wood zooms in from down under to share “Stone Yard Devotional.”  Released in Australia in 2023 and a Booker Prize finalist in '24, Wood tells the story of a disillusioned conservationist who moves into a convent.  Beautifully spare, it's “extraordinary” as WashPost critic Ron Charles said.  And it makes you work — a good thing!

A fun chat with Charlotte Wood all about her new book Stone Yard Devotional, the appeal of escaping society, mice plagues, and learning to sit in silence. Plus – Dave's music struggles, Laura's puppy struggles, and Andrew is on holiday in Mexico. Woo. Hoo.  We also recommend: The Mayors of New York by S. J. … Continue reading Ep. 282 Mice Plagues!

We have spoken to all of the Booker Shortlisted authors here at Read On, many on the days leading up to, or in one case the day of, the award ceremony, far too soon to get them onto a regular episode of the show. So here, ahead of the ceremony tonight, is a supercut of all six interviews featuring Percival Everett, Samantha Harvey, Yael van der Wouden, Charlotte Wood, Rachel Kushner and Anne Michaels.  We'll have all of the interviews, uncut, on future editions of Read On. The image showcases six book covers from the Booker shortlist 2024 James by Percival Everett - The cover features bold typography with a striking orange background. A small illustrated figure appears at the bottom, rowing a boat. Orbital by Samantha Harvey - This cover has a cosmic theme with abstract celestial shapes in vibrant colours against a dark background, resembling planets or bubbles in space. Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner - The cover uses bold, playful typography with red and yellow text. An upside-down black-and-white photograph of a woman wearing sunglasses adds a surreal element. Held by Anne Michaels - The cover is minimalist and grayscale, with the word "Held" repeated multiple times vertically. A small orange dot pattern adds subtle colour. The Safe Keep by Yael Van Der Wouden - This cover depicts an interior scene, looking into a room with an open door, hinting at themes of mystery or domesticity. Stone Yard Devotional by Charlotte Wood - The cover shows a dilapidated room with peeling walls and sunlight filtering in, suggesting an exploration of decay or solitude.

A group of mums called Mothers' Manifesto are on day three of a five-day hunger strike in front of Parliament. They're trying to draw attention to food insecurity and the plight of mums who have to go without food to ensure their children can eat. Today they're meeting MPs to campaign for universal free school meals. Organiser Emma Hopkins tells Emma Barnett what they'll be asking for.A former dancer has brought a legal case against her performing arts school alleging verbal and emotional abuse in the form of body shaming, along with allegations that the school had failed in its duty of care to her as a pupil. Last month, the case was settled out of court, and she received a pay-out, although the school did not admit liability. Her lawyer believes this successful claim is the first time a dancer has taken a dance school to court over body shaming. The woman and her lawyer speak to Emma about what happened. The woman has a court order in place to keep her anonymous, so we are not naming her. In recent years, maximalism has been all the rage in the interior design world.

Welcome to a very special edition of The Investor Download where your host is Schroders' CEO Peter Harrison – and the topic is all things AI. Join Peter as he talks to Michael Bhaskar, one of the authors of The Coming Wave, a 2023 bestseller which critics have described as “vital”, “terrifying”, and “unmissable”. Michael visited Schroders' London office to record the conversation which was joined by Nils Rode, Charlotte Wood and Alex Tedder – each of whom in their different roles at Schroders is passionate about AI and brings their own angle to the topic. The Coming Wave was one of six books shortlisted for the 2023 Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year. Its other author, AI entrepreneur Mustafa Suleyman, is co-founder of Deepmind and Inflection AI. In the book Suleyman and Bhaskar warn about the dangers of innovations such as generative AI, synthetic biology and quantum computing, and assess how and if these dangers could be contained.

Artificial intelligence and technology are proving to be the 21st century's greatest dilemma. Michael Bhaskar is a former consultant writer in residence at DeepMind, a British-American artificial intelligence research laboratory. He is also the co-author of a brand new book called The Coming Wave, which is all about the potential impact of AI and tech. In this interview with Schroders' CEO Peter Harrison, they discuss the threats and opportunities posed by AI and how it might shape civilisation this century. Also involved in the interview are Nils Rhode, Chief Investment Officer of Schroders Private Assets, Charlotte Wood, Head of Innovation and Fintech Alliances, and Alex Tedder, Head of Global and Thematic Equities. As well as posing their own questions to Michael about the future of AI and technology, they join in the debate too, sharing their thoughts on the future and how they will impact investors. It's a longer show than usual, but I hope you find the chat as fascinating as I did.  NEW EPISODES: The Investor Download is available every Thursday and will be released at 1700 UK time.

(This is too tough) Sliced so finely, you have to summon your inner Japanese chef. It must be fine, delicate, filigree. 2. Fennel 1/3 bulb Sliced very finely. I learnt this from Bill's (the Aussie /Sydney chef) in London. I think the addition of fennel is where the magic happens. 3. A lot of coriander. Chopped up. 1/2 bunch. More. Go crazy. Mint is a lovely addition or substitute if cori not in season. 4. Chopped celery. 1-2 sticks 5.A handful of currants. 6. Teaspoon of orange rind. 7. Vinaigrette. You can use Praise French dressing. (Perfect for this dish) Fiddle with the quantities. You can't go wrong. We eat it all the time! The trick is to go very fine with all shredding. Pharmacy in a Bowl. Charlotte Wood's recipe for lentil soupIngredients Olive oil 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 small red chillies, finely chopped 1 brown onion, finely chopped 1 stick celery, finely chopped 1 leek, finely chopped ¼ white cabbage, finely chopped 1 red capsicum, roughly chopped 3 carrots, roughly chopped 3 litres chicken stock 1 head broccoli, roughly chopped 1 can tomatoes in juice 1 cup French-style (‘blue') lentils Salt & pepper Parmesan cheese, grated Method 1. Fry the garlic, onion, chilli, celery, leek, cabbage, capsicum and carrots in batches until well browned. 2. Put the chicken stock in a big pot on the stove and bring to the boil, tossing in all the sautéed ingredients. 3. Add broccoli and tomatoes, and simmer till all vegetables are tender. 4. Retaining stock, remove vegetables with a slotted spoon and puree in a food processor or blender until smooth (or roughly blended, depending on how rustic you like your texture). 5. Return pureed vegetables to stock and add lentils. Simmer for about 15 – 20 minutes or until lentils are tender (more if you want them falling apart). Season well with salt and pepper. 6. Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

At the end of each podcast series, Holly likes to take a moment out of the hustle and bustle of small business life, to sit and reflect on the special conversations she's been lucky enough to have.  So if you haven't yet listened to every episode this season, or if you loved them all so much that you want to recall key moments – settle down with a cup of tea and get ready to take notes from some of the most successful founders on the planet.  In this series, each of Holly's guests have shared tales from their business journeys so far, building some of the most recognised brands in the world. Each guest opened up about the highs and lows of their unique journeys, but the one key similarity Holly recognised amongst every founder is their ability to pivot when the going gets tough, in order for their businesses to survive.  Here, Holly has selected a key moment from each of her conversations that have stayed with her – including ungooglable pieces of advice, inspiring moments and some emotional memories we can all take lessons from.  This round-up episode features snippets from Holly's conversations with Trinny Woodall, founder of Trinny London, Kate Robinson, co-founder of The Creative Revolution and Never Grey, Dishoom's founder Shamil Thakrar, Helen and Sarah, squiggly career experts and co-founders of Amazing If, Josie Naughton, founder of Choose Love, Marisa Hordern, creator of Missoma, Renee Elliott, founder and mastermind behind Planet Organic and Beluga Bean, NEOM's founder Nicola Elliott, and Charlotte Wood, founder of Polar Post and Queen of Christmas.  Plus for more unfiltered insight, subscribe to Holly's weekly newsletters on our website, where she shares small business inspiration of all kinds, exclusive nuggets of wisdom from her and her guests, plus offers, creative ideas and topical, 'ungoogleable' business advice. 

In this captivating conversation, Charlotte Wood, founder of the magical Polar Post, shares her wisdom on building a brand that truly embodies kindness, nostalgia and the spirit of Christmas. With the help of the elves, Charlotte's founding mission was to revive the lost art of calligraphy for a new generation and create remarkable works of art in the form of letters, so that every child can feel as though Father Christmas is speaking directly to them.  Since founding her enchanting business, Polar Post has gone from strength to strength, but with the many highs on her Christmas journey so far, have also come many lows. Here, Charlotte bares her soul, sharing her early struggles with school, and how Polar Post actually sprung from a place of darkness, when she was battling postnatal depression. Charlotte also shares her advice when coping with guilt as a working mother, dealing with copying, working with charities, and the power creativity has in turning your world “from grey to technicolour”. Her creations are a labour of love that sprinkle magic on our doormats, up chimneys and under our Christmas trees, year on year. All you have to do is believe.
