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":"Would You Survive These Friendships?","slug":"would-you-survive-these-friendships","published_at":"2026-03-23T06:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bibliofilles-7704872/would-you-survive-these-friendships","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bibliofilles-7704872","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/LPS2846750330.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/LPS2846750330.mp3","summary":"Friendships… but make them messy, obsessive, and unforgettable 👀 From The Kite Runner to The Secret History, we’re breaking down the friendships that shaped us and the ones that completely destroyed people. Campus obsession. Fake identities. Chosen family. Lifelong bonds. Some of these friendships feel real… others feel a little too real. So the question is which ones would you actually want in your life?
