  • Marian Keyes celebrates The National Year of Reading
    Oct 6 2026

    Marian Keyes is a huge champion of books and reading - so who better to help us celebrate Book Week on Radio 2!

    She chats to Sara about the joys of books and gives some great tips on how to get back into reading, if you've fallen out of the rhythm of it.

    Marian also teases us with news of a NEW NOVEL! (but she can't say much about it...yet) and gives us a great book recommendation as well!

    (we pack a lot in!)

  • 'Where Are The Kings' by Donal Ryan
    Sep 22 2026

    Bestselling author, Donal Ryan, joins Sara in the Book Club to chat about his new novel, "Where Are The Kings".

    He reveals what inspired this book and why he very nearly didn't write it at all. There are lots of elements of Donal- and his own son - in the main character, which make this a deeply personal book. He also talks about balancing humour with the serious subjects of loss and grief.

    Donal gives us a cracking book recommendation - and we get to hear a short snippet of the audiobook too.

    Here's a little more info on Donal's novel:

    Something terrible has happened to Jack but no one seems to want to talk about it.

    His uncles can tell him about everything from quantum physics to how to hunt for deer, but they can’t seem to tell him anything about their own sister or why Jack doesn’t feel sad for her in the way he should, or why Grandad tries to shoot Jack’s dad when he gets out of the hospital.

    Still, there’s work to be done in the oily wonderland of his uncles’ garage; there’s his beautiful aunt Rose to hypnotise him and his loving grandparents to console him; then there’s JJ, who wants to fight him one day and save him the next.

    But with so many questions, in a family with so many secrets, it is difficult for Jack to understand the person he is becoming. How can a simple boy learn to become a king?
