For the reader/celebrity follower: Celebrity Memoir Book Club 

The best kind of podcasts are the niche ones, the shows that make you think, ‘how did they get so many episodes on that topic!?’ Celebrity Memoir Book Club - do you need a bio!? - has clocked up more than 90 episodes since September 2020, opening up with Jessica Simpson’s Open Book. Since then, hosts (and comedians, naturally) Claire Parker and Ashley Hamilton have delved into the tomes of the likes of Amy Schumer, Sharon Stone, Dave Grohl, and Jamie Lynn Spears. A standout episode concerns actressnOlivia Munn’s Suck It, Wonder Woman!, which sounds like a troublesome book but makes for a cackle-along of an episode.
