A fantastic end to Day 2! Wordsmith Adam Sharp took us around the world with his lists of idioms, before poet Paul Muldoon read poems from 'Joy in Service on Rue Tagore' and 'Howdie-Skelp' and answered questions from the audience. Spell-binding stuff! #LitLeics25

We had great fun taking The Rest Is History to Leicester last night in a free event for our listeners in the Midlands. Lovely to meet so many fans of the show, and thanks to the team (pictured) at University of Leicester's brilliant Literary Leicester for organising!

It was brilliant to welcome Sophie Haydock to University of Leicester this Wednesday as part of @literaryleicester and hear more about her process for writing the women in Matisse's life back into the story - and their 'voices into the pigment' 🎨 🖼 📖 #LitLeics25 #LiteraryLeicester
