The 232 Degrees Podcast: Unlocking Great Books
Seán and Carl are two passionate book lovers who are unlocking great books! In each episode we explore a book, and how it has translated into our world, or the world of someone else. We think reading is fun, and important, and we encourage you to read these books and let us know what you think! Every episode is a very listenable 20-30mins... great for the commute or when you're out for a wander. Connect with us here: the232podcast@gmail.com
