Listeners, I'm sitting in my garden, it feels lovely and sunny, I feel like I'm on holiday

for Monest, which is very apt because I've got some more holiday reading for you.

This episode of Homo sapient is sponsored by Better Left Unsaid from Tufael Ahmed, author

of the acclaimed novel This Way Out. Better Left Unsaid is about three siblings navigating

life after their mother's death. They're all living separate lives trying to live

up to their last promises they each made to their mother.

back into each other's lives. Three siblings, three promises, three lifetimes of saying

all the wrong things. Gosh, it feels familiar. I'll leave it at that for now, it's a really

good read. The novel is available at Amazon.co.uk forward slash Homo sapiens. I love it when

they do a little URL for us. Those with a Kindle Unlimited subscription can read at no additional

extra cost. That's www.amazon.co.uk forward slash Homo sapiens. Better Left Unsaid is available

20th September in e-book, paperbook and audiobook editions. Mmm, get involved.

that I have wanted to do as an episode since the beginning of the whole of this podcast.

We're going to be talking about the pink pound. We're going to be talking about the history

of the pink pound. The pink pound being how queer people spend their money really. And

it's such an interesting route into the history of queerness. And we're going to be talking to
