Welcome to the first edition of Rippling Pages: Ask the Host! Over the years, I’ve been asking the questions, but it’s about time I answered some too. So, that’s what I’ve done: I’ve picked out some questions from the Rippling Pages inbox, and answered them! In this episode, I answer: - Where am I from?- Why did I start the podcast?- Who would I like to interview?- What books have I enjoyed recently?- Would I rather speak every language or to every animal?! Got a question yourself? Why not leave a review and a question and I might pick out one for a future show!***** Tickets to Katharina Volckmer in conversation! https://www.seetickets.com/event/katharina-volckmer-in-conversation/hyde-park-book-club/3381984 ***** Don’t forget there’s a Rippling Pages bookshop: https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/ripplingpagespod Buying from this link supports the podcast (I receive a 10% commission) and indie bookshops!
