Hello, it's Anthony Scaramucci.

Welcome to Dominic Sambrook, who is the co-host of the Rest is history, but has a brand new podcast out.

And so I'm a bibliophile, a big time bookworm. I'm super excited about your

podcast. And the title of the podcast is the book club. Of course, Dominic is a friend of the show

and a close personal friend of mine. Dom, tell us a little bit about this new podcast idea that

you've come up with. Well, Anthony, first of all,

thank you so much for having me on the Restis Politics, US. Now, you have your own book club show,

of course, called Open Book, don't you? Which is a great show and an inspiration for us.

My producer, The Rest is History, Tabitha, and I love talking about books. We talk about fiction.

What we're doing in the book club is every week we're taking a different novel and we look at the history

behind the novel. We look at the author's biography, what they're trying to do. So sometimes

they are great works of literature. There might be 1984 or Wuthering Heights or Frankenstein.

And sometimes they are more contemporary.

So we've literally just recorded an episode.

I imagine, Anthony, you're not a huge fan of the Romantasy genre, which is fantasy meets romance,

generally read by teenage girls or women in their 20s and early 30s.

Are these like the Fabio guys that are like walking around on the cover?

Is that the guys? There's a bit of that. There's a bit of that. I'm probably too intimidated for that, Dom, maybe. Right, exactly. Probably too insecure for that. But I keep going. Our first episode, which came out a couple of weeks ago, was about Wuthering Heights to time with the film. and with an episode about Casu Isha Giro's book, Never Let Me Go.

And we're just an episode about Casu Ishiguro's book,

Never Let Me Go. And we're just going to do a whole variety of books and we kind of rate them. We talk about what we like, what we didn't like. It's a lot of fun. Okay, how do you select the books, Tom? I'm dying to know. So we take it in turns, basically. It's what Tabby wants to do and what I want to do, we're a generation apart, so that's a kind of fun dynamic.

And each week we alternate. basically. It's what Tabby wants to do and what I want to do. We're a generation apart. So that's a kind of

fun dynamic. And each week we alternate. So we might have an absolute classic, you know, let's say
