The Slightly Foxed Podcast

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. Think of it as an audio version of the magazine, full of interesting bookishness, interviews and discussion – all set around our kitchen table, here in Hoxton Square.

Here you can catch up with all available episodes of the Slightly Foxed Podcast. Simply click on each episode’s image to be taken to its dedicated page, where you can listen to the episode, find the show notes and browse featured books and articles.

I absolutely love the magazine and the podcast! Keep up the good work. Every time I listen, I add so many books and authors to my to-be-read list.

    My daughter discovered you somewhere online and gave me no.64 for Christmas. I’m having a wet summer morning – too wet to garden or bike to the gym – lying in bed here in New Zealand checking out your website and listening to your podcasts. I feel like I’ve found new friends.

    An Instagram friend, Collage of Life, introduced me to your wonderful show a week ago and I have since spent a copious amount of hours absorbing the content and noting down your recommendations. Being able to spend time with you this past week was a welcome distraction from the raging fires we endured this week in Western Australia. I particularly enjoyed learning about Charles and Mary Lamb and have since had the luck of sourcing a copy of Essays of Elia from a bookseller in NSW. Thank you again, so glad we met!

    Love your podcasts. I walk 5 miles a day, and often listen as I walk, knowing my mental and emotional landscape will expand and be enriched for the remainder of the day… and week… until I listen to another, and consider myself immensely privileged to have access to such an enchanted space. Thank you!

    I listen and greatly enjoy your podcasts. I have often recommended them to friends and thereby introduced many now grateful people to your wonderful output.
    In my experience there has only ever been one dud.
    I have struggled through it twice, most recently last night, trying unsuccessfully to find redeeming features; just one would do. The author of My Salinger Year is probably a good writer but, after listening to her on your podcast, nothing would induce me to spend a minute more on her work. Some authors simply ‘don’t get’ broadcasting. For example, endless pregnant pauses are irritating and become moments to hit stop/delete.
    But one big miss among so very many worthwhile, enjoyable hours of listening will not deter me. I am looking forward to your next edition.
