The Good Word
Award-winning novelist Emily Perkins presents a series about “books and the people who love them”. The follow-up to previous series The Book Show — and looking like it might be set in a graffitied bunker in Auckland’s Myers Park — it managed to be chatty without being frivolous, and to take itself seriously without being worthy. Regular features included a panel discussion about the book of the week, a guest talking about their favourite book, and Finlay Macdonald highlighting a notable New Zealand book, in his Under the Covers feature. In the second season, a fourth regular feature was added: a visit to a book club.
