Episode 1: Jake’s Horse Show Disaster - Riders chapters 1-3

The Ravishing Podcast!

Show Notes

This week we’re diving into Chapters 1-3 of Riders – meeting Jake for the first time

We talk about: Jake, one of our main characters – and how we picture him; Jilly Cooper’s fabulous and vivid writing, especially when it comes to animals and nature scenes; the fact that the book leads us to believe that weighing 11 stone means you’re fat; and whether or not it’s acceptable to fill in your facial hair with an eyebrow pencil.

As always, we go off on plenty of tangents, share some strong opinions, and attempt (with varying success) to stay on track.

If you have thoughts (and we know you do), we’d love to hear from you – find us on Instagram & TikTok @theravishingpodcast or email us at [email protected]

Because these books deserve to be talked about. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
