Schama is always interesting

Fascinating interview with Simon Schama. He is always witty and perceptive. I enjoy these Audible interviews as an extra benefit of membership, even though they are short.

Why offer a taster for a book you don’t stock?

The « selection » on audible is becoming worse and worse, clogged up with true crime, crappy US trash, confessional rubbish and people reading their own self-published epics. Why promote this when none of Schama’s books except his history of Britain are even available ??!
