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":"Why Is No One Talking About These Books?","slug":"why-is-no-one-talking-about-these-books","published_at":"2026-04-13T05:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bibliofilles-7704872/why-is-no-one-talking-about-these-books","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bibliofilles-7704872","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/LPS8976502100.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/LPS8976502100.mp3","summary":"There are so many good books out there but this week we’re diving into the ones you’ve probably never even heard of and absolutely should have.
