Welcome to Up North Books, a podcast discussing all things northern literature. Hosted by Beth Barker and Kate Baguley, the podcast hopes to celebrate and discuss northern books so more people can read about this varied and often underrepresented part of the UK. The North of England is a huge place but we want to try and find, read and discuss as many books as possible that represent its vast diversity and writing talent.
