Hi Anthems listeners, here's a podcast we think you'll love; it's called Broccoli Book Club. Hosted by multimedia journalist Diyora Shadijanova. Broccoli Book Club is a ‘real book club’ but within a podcast format. Listeners can follow along month by month where we'll be discussing literature which pushes for inquisitive and forward thinking minds to familiarise themselves with topics they don't usually learn about. The podcast is split in two parts - part one is a group discussion of the book of the month with host Diyora, a member of the Broccoli Team and an esteemed book reader. Part two is an interview with the celebrated author of the book of the month. Why not kick off that reading habit you've always wanted to. Join in the conversation by sending in your thoughts, comments and reflections to voicenotes@broccolicontent.com and via our social media @broccolicontent #BroccoliBookClub

Hi Anthems listeners, here's a podcast we think you'll love; it's called This City, hosted by Clara Amfo. The podcast is a love letter to London, revealing the stories behind her guests’ love affair with the capital. In a time where community is more important than ever, these conversations get to the heart of what makes London so special. Season 1 saw brilliant guests like Louis Theroux, Mark Ronson, the Sugababes and Little Simz, and the new season takes a deep-dive into more fascinating names who have a unique connection with the City – including Zadie Smith, Reni Eddo-Lodge, and Munya Chawawa to name a few. Here's a clip from the new season featuring athlete, broadcaster and Strictly sensation Alex Scott. If you like what you hear, search This City wherever you get your podcasts to listen to the full episode!
