This episode features a conversation between Irish Times Books Editor Martin Doyle and June Caldwell, author of Room Little Darker, at the Mountains to Sea festival in Dun Laoghaire last month.

As ever, the podcast recording was preceded by a series of articles about Room Little Darker on irishtimes.com, written by fellow authors and critics including Maighread Medbh, Alan McMonagle, Joanna Walsh, Michael Harding, Justine-Delaney Wilson, Elske Rahill and Frankie Gaffney.

And those interested can still find those pieces on irishtimes.com.

Originally this event was due to take place at the Ennis Book Club festival, but that event was postponed due to the terrible weather. So thanks to Mountains to Sea for facilitating the event at short notice.
