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":"This Book Should Never Have Been Published","slug":"this-book-should-never-have-been-published","published_at":"2026-04-06T05:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bibliofilles-7704872/this-book-should-never-have-been-published","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bibliofilles-7704872","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/LPS4729361711.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/LPS4729361711.mp3","summary":"A book scandal has exploded and it’s raising serious questions about the future of publishing. In this episode, we dive into the controversy surrounding a viral novel accused of being largely written by AI… a story that went from self-published success to being pulled from shelves almost overnight. But this isn’t just about one book. We explore how AI is quietly reshaping the literary world from self-publishing trends to major publishers missing the warning signs and ask the bigger question: Can we still trust what we’re reading? This is a conversation about creativity, authenticity, and where we draw the line.
