In this series Anna Macleod is in conversation with two guests each week about their favourite books and also finds out more about their lives. In this episode Ishi Maclean talks about how an account of a journey from London to Sydney inspired her own travels in Africa and other places. She also discusses the book that continues to inspire her own ambitions to be a writer.

Domhnall Iain Macdonald talks about the lasting impact the poetry of Sorley Maclean has had on him as well as how his further book choices reflect his academic studies into addiction and the workings of the brain.

As well as discussing their favourite books each guest will have chosen a book for the other to read and we'll find out in the program whether they enjoyed it or not!
