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":"The Truth About the Off Campus Obsession","slug":"the-truth-about-the-off-campus-obsession","published_at":"2026-06-08T05:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bibliofilles-7704872/the-truth-about-the-off-campus-obsession","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bibliofilles-7704872","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/LPS2472039775.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/LPS2472039775.mp3","summary":"Off Campus has become one of the biggest TV sensations of 2026, taking over streaming charts, BookTok and social media feeds around the world.
