About this listen

 Welcome to the very first episode of Whaddaya Readin? Meet Sarah and Jess, two Naarm-based actors, writers and avid readers who love to swap books and discuss their thoughts on them. Join us for this very first episode, which has been in the pipeline for quite some time (whoops), as we discuss, review and recommend our favourite fiction book releases of 2020. This episode was recorded way back in the February snap lockdown in Victoria over Zoom, when 2020 was still fresh in our minds. Thanks for tuning in!
