This week we’re riffling through the shelves of author, broadcaster, journalist and podcast superstar Pandora Sykes! Pandora is the co-host of the smash hit The High Low and her own chart-topping new podcast Doing It Right. Her first essay collection is the hotly anticipated How Do We Know We’re Doing It Right. We talked to her about formative reading, High Low favourites and Jilly Cooper’s nether regions.
