 After an unplanned short hiatus from the podcast, I'm back behind the mic talking about my favorite author, Charles Dickens. My guest today is author Jesper Soerensen and he's just written a book about Dickens and his stories. In the episode we talk about his book, we share plenty of recommendations, and have a lot of discussion about the stories that Dickens wrote. We do not talk spoilers, so whether you're relatively new to Dickens or are a hardcore fan, there is something for everyone in today's interview!
