The Penguin Podcast
The Penguin Podcast is back with a brand new series called Ask Penguin.

Do you need to find your next page-turning read? Are you curious to find out what a day in the life of an editor is like, or simply why a small, aquatic, flightless bird became the iconic emblem that adorns Penguin books worldwide?
