# Sara & Cariad's Weirdos Book Club

A podcast by Plosive. Join comedians and authors Sara Pascoe and Cariad Lloyd in their Weirdos Book Club - a space for the lonely outsider to feel accepted and appreciated. You don't even have to read the book to join in! Assisted by their comedian and writer friends, each week they’ll discuss a book that is special, stimulating and y’know – weird. Welcome to your new book club! Thank you for reading with us. We like reading with you! Follow Sara & Cariad’s Weirdos Book Club on Instagram @saraandcariadsweirdosbookclub For ad-free listening, more weird and wonderful bonus content and to support the podcast, sign up to our Patreon at patreon.com/c/weirdosbookclub Produced by Plosive.
