Sophie asked for a recommendation. Chaya prescribed The Song of Achilles. A DM became a dialogue; a dialogue became @thebibiliofilles; and now, finally, a podcast. Chaya is a barrister, Sophie a former editor. We read across all genres and trends, from classics and non fiction, to contemporary fiction, romantasy and everything in between. The Bibliofilles: The Podcast is life through books, where we get to ruminate beyond the reviews and reels, with thematic episodes, academic deep dives, classics, cult favourites and viral sensations. There will be a book club built for those of us who never quite fit the mould. (with a twist, naturally).","last_synced_at":"2026-07-20T10:20:32.231576+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bibliofilles-7704872"},"episode":{"title":"Is Yesteryear Trashing Us All","slug":"is-yesteryear-trashing-us-all","published_at":"2026-05-18T05:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bibliofilles-7704872/is-yesteryear-trashing-us-all","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bibliofilles-7704872","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/LPS5422128744.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/LPS5422128744.mp3","summary":"Why is everyone obsessed with Yesteryear right now? 👀 This week we unpack the book everyone seems to be reading from trad-wife culture and influencer motherhood to religion, feminism, identity, and the dark reality behind perfectly curated online lives. We debate one of the most divisive female protagonists we’ve read in years, discuss the ending that split readers, and explore why this debut has sparked such a huge cultural conversation. 📚🎙️ 👇 All books mentioned are linked below 👇 Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke 👉 https://amzn.to/3P7DHv4 True Grit by Charles Portis 👉 https://amzn.to/4nvJtDq Strangers by Belle Burden 👉 https://amzn.to/4wvp3yh Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center by Bell Hooks 👉 https://amzn.to/4eIubJ8 👍 Like, subscribe, and turn on notifications for more bookish conversations with Chaya & Sophie.
