In this week's podcast, Robert Harris explains why all roads lead to Rome in an interview with Claire Armitstead to launch the second part of his Cicero trilogy, Lustrum, Eoin Colfer defends his decision to write the sequel to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and our panellists give their verdict on the result.
Plus, following the attack by Booker chair Jim Naughtie on the deplorable state of book editing, we look at whether standards have really fallen and if too much editing might actually be a bad thing. Our panellists also tip the events they will be booking up for when the Hay Festival comes to London's King's Place.
