Sara & Cariad's Weirdos Book Club · The Midnight Train by Matt Haig with Matt Haig · 28 May 2026 podcast

oh that's nice Matthew and I'd just like hang back and pick and mix yeah pick and mix I feel is it's a bit of a problem but pick and mix is alright I've had a couple of pick and mixes again I think it was inbuilt into the price

I did have a little moral code, but if it was a big, massive brand, then that was okay.

But you wouldn't go into the sort of local... No, anyone's independent shop.

Literally no, because I mean, they've got a bookshop now, but Newark-on-Trent in the 1980s did not have a bookshop.

It didn't have a cinema.

I mean, it was a town of 40,000 people, but beyond the library, it did have a theatre.

My mum was doing Amdram at the theatre, but it didn't necessarily have anything you'd want to watch at the theatre.

And it did have a Friday night movie, so it sort of doubled as a...

You could watch Dirty Dancing about two and a half years after everyone else watched it.

Well, it was so embarrassing being a boy saying you liked Dirty Dancing, but Dirty Dancing is an amazing film.

It's a great, great film.

yeah i mean i have obviously been to lots of bookshops and there's lots of bookshops a lot and i even want we want to set up a bookshop that's like because like you get to a point where you're just going mad staring at a word document all day all your life so we want to do something real yeah out there but so so yeah i've been thinking a lot about bookshops

We did find a venue in Brighton, but then, yeah, we did a really rubbish, like, bid.

We had to bid for it because it was in a really good location in the lanes.

And, like, they had about 10 brands want it.

I think it's going to be one of those, you know, those...

I always forget its name, but the ice cream place that does the sort of flowers.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, there's a closed down bookshop on that street, which might have been it.
