Episode 1909: The Second Captains Annual Christmas Book Review Show!
It’s one of our favourite shows every year, and a little earlier than usual since we’ll be doing a lot of our present-purchasing online, it’s the Second Captains Annual Christmas Book Review Show, with Malachy Clerkin and Sinead O’Carroll.
