On last week's episode of #AudioBookClub…

Our guest Tom Phillips, author of 'A Brief History of the End of the Fucking World' suggested an audiobook for us to review and recommend.

And he did so incredibly eloquently..

Unfortunately both Steve or Matthew failed to do their homework.

However, on this episode of #AudioBookClub…

In a week when the BBC are facing a bit of an online storm as listeners complain about the fact that ads have appearing on the BBC Sounds app.

Matthew and Steve, who met while they were both working for the BBC, discuss the unique nature of the UK's public broadcaster, their love for the BBC Sounds app and their feelings about the idea that their listener experience might be tainted by the appearance of vulgar commercial messages.

Please get involved in the conversation
