We are in your ears today recommending memoirs! Chris and Sarah welcome Belle to the podcast, a friend of Sarah's and a patreon of the pod. They chat what they think a memoir is, why they like to read them, and make some recommendations. Chris also reveals his real and controversial opinions about UK currency. Hope you enjoy the episode!

PS the eagle-eared listener may notice that Sarah claimed in this episode that she had not read Happening, when last episode it was something she was currently reading. These episodes were recorded in reverse order, so she did pick it up immediately after talking to Belle and loved it! <3
