​
Let’s talk about the basics.

The Bibliotherapists Podcast
co-hosted by Tanya Lynch & Toni Jones
This podcast is a love letter to reading, writing and storytelling, and also Substack, the place where our eyes met across a crowded Zoom room (thanks to some matchmaking by Substack Sparkler Claire Venus and our idea for a show featuring our favourite writers from the platform was born…​
​
As a writing retreats host and therapeutic journalling coach alongside my co-host the self-help evangelist (Toni Jones of The Shelf Help Club), we both spend our lives immersed in words, using them to support ourselves, and others, and we both consider ourselves Bibliotherapists.
​
We believe that books are magic, and that journalling saves lives.
​
We want to inspire and support reading and writing as serious therapeutic tools that can support your mental, emotional, spiritual and even physical health (did you know that 30-minutes of reading lowers your stress levels and blood pressure as much as yoga?!).
​
And as two ex-media birds, we also love a good old gossip with interesting people.
​
So creating a podcast combining all of these things was really a no-brainer. And coming up with the name and the content ideas was easy.
​
Next, we made a wish list of writers we would LOVE to speak to. And - amazingly for a brand new podcast - they all said yes! Amazing women such as Beth Kempton, Laura Pashby, Lucy Pearson, Tamu Thomas, Anne Boyd, Salima Saxton & Dr Jen Cox, Claire Venus and Emma Gannon
​
​
We’ve had SO much fun creating this podcast, speaking to these incredible women about the books that have shaped their lives and their relationships with themselves, the books they wish everyone would read, how they use reading and writing to support their mental health, and the books they are reading right now.
​
We’ve learned a lot!
​
We’ve also added more books than is reasonable to our TBR lists and imagine that you will be doing the same, for which we are very much ‘sorry not sorry’.
And so here it is… out in the world, as a weekly digital aural retreat for you.
​
Today we are releasing two ‘meet the hosts’ episodes as a way to introduce you to Toni and I (at 8am and then 12pm UK time) and then we’ll be dropping one new episode every Friday morning for the next 8 weeks.
​
We can’t wait for you to listen. You'll find The Bibliotherapists on all major podcast platforms. Please share with the people you love, let us know what you think, and - of course - what you are reading right now…
