Description
The independent-minded book review magazine that combines good looks, good writing and a personal approach. Slightly Foxed introduces its readers to books that are no longer new and fashionable but have lasting appeal. Good-humoured, unpretentious and a bit eccentric, it’s more like a well-read friend than a literary magazine.
Come behind the scenes with the staff of Slightly Foxed to learn what makes this unusual literary magazine tick, meet some of its varied friends and contributors, and hear their personal recommendations for favourite and often forgotten books that have helped, haunted, informed or entertained them.

Lovely listen for book lovers
I absolutely love this podcast. I’m thoroughly enjoying these gentle conversations with Slightly Foxed and have binge listened to them all! A varied selection of books are discussed, not just those published by SF and you gain an insight into the ‘state’ of publishing and bookselling in 2018/19. I worked in bookselling in the late 80’s and early 90s and this takes me back to those days. I hope that podcasts like this and Tea and Tattle will help to keep interest in real books and by that I mean printed on paper! I wish I was there with you but for now your podcast will have to suffice. Please keep them coming x

Revival
As a new subscriber, I’m very much enjoying this episode. However, I must point out that my bookshop DOES have a section for 20th century classics...

Anticipation
The Slightly Foxed podcast is delightful. I have already read several of the book recommendations from the backlist with great pleasure. I find I am now earmarking the 15th of each month with happy anticipation.

Novel!
This is completely different to other literary podcasts. It’s about good reads you’ve never heard of. I’ve now got a long list of fascinating books to buy after only two episodes and not a single “bestseller” among them!

A new gem
Sick of bestsellers and celebrity authors? Escape into a civilized world of
knowledgeable and witty bibliophiles. Two episodes in and I'm hooked. The
host skilfully weaves the conversation round the kitchen table at this
pocket-sized magazine as the Slightly Foxed team and their guests discuss
lesser-known literary gems. I particularly enjoyed hearing from the
formidable and entertaining Frances Wood, formerly of the British Library,
about her time spent in Mao's China. This is a real find

Note to Readers: unmissable!
Inviting; stimulating; a companionable encouragement to persevere in reading widely and well. The first episode has already added some newcomers to my “to read” list, and I’m very much looking forward to future instalments. You will, too.
