Shared Reading

Our podcast hosted by two of our Shared Reading volunteers Ellie and Steve, celebrates the joy of shared reading with local voices and authors from across the East Midlands.

Get involved inthe podcast

We’re currently looking for short pieces of writing and potential guests to feature in upcoming episodes. If you’re a writer with something to share, we’d love to hear from you.  Shorter pieces work particularly well, as we read them aloud on the podcast and explore the thoughts and feelings they inspire in conversation. If your work is selected, you’ll be invited to join us as a guest to talk about it.
