Summary

Jane² are back, answering all the questions plaguing this slightly sunny Tuesday afternoon: What happened to empathy? Why call them beavers? And does a random word generator decide the world’s headlines?

Jane G also speaks to novelist Catherine Airey about her debut novel, 'Confessions'.

The next book club pick has been announced! 'Eight Months on Ghazzah Street' is by Hilary Mantel.
