The Crunch discussion

​In Issue 8's podcast (released in May 2018), Rhys recommended a debut collection that interrogates the very idea of masculinity, Adam chose to highlight a new novel by a Faber poet, Richard suggested a modern morality cycle with an everyman figure at its centre, and our guest Clare E. Potter praised an artful and expansive collection from a newly-revived author.
