Looking for a book review podcast - similar to The High Low, or The Rest is Entertainment

I used to love The High Low, which was a weekly roundup podcast of books and entertainment by Dolly Alterton and Pandora Sykes. Is there anything similar, since it finished?

I also really enjoy Richard Osman and Marina Hyde's The Rest is Entertainment.

I bet there's a book-focused review in a similar tone. Any recommendations?

Don't know but I'd be interested.

It may not be quite what you're looking for, but I enjoy this book review podcast Quick Book Reviews

Backlisted is good, try that.

Thank you for the suggstions. I will listen to everything suggested!

Huge R4 fan, so Books and Authors looks promising - seems to be focussed on one book per episode, though. Will listen.

I had a go with The Weirdos Bookclub and it is lighthearted and fun. It didn't quite suit my mood today but I may put it on in the car in future.

Currently listening to Backlisted. Seems good so far!

Try Straight Up! very similar to High Low but more opionated. Two best friends and journalists chatting celebrity culture, film, TV, books and the media https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/straight-up/id1487387104

The book club review is good with Kate and Laura.
