Really enjoying these even though I'm late to finding them!
Whenever I go to take the podcast down, then I think but it might start up again. I’d love it if this podcast came back in 2022. Mark Billingham knows the questions to ask and knows how best to engage his guests to create terrific interviews. Getting to hear favourite crime writers talk about their creative process is fascinating as is the peek behind the scenes of some of the top rated TV series.

I came across the podcast this year 2021 and have enjoyed catching up with writers I know and learning about new ones. It has been so informative, funny and and entertaining. I have also enjoyed the interviews with the actors. Please say you are planning to continue?
Really enjoy Marks interview style with all the interesting guests, very relaxing and informative
