Meet the Hosts

NonFicPod with Byrne and Codd is your all-new podcast for bitchin' nonfiction. In this season we're covering everything from the love lives of royalty to the impact of exercise on the brain, from growing up black in a white family to understanding how viruses go, well, viral.

In this episode, find out who Emma and Georgie (Byrne and Codd) actually are. As your hosts on this journey we thought it only right to make sure you know who you’re signing on with.

This series will bring you the finest from writers like Georgina Lawton, Caroline Williams, Dan Smith, Nadia Owusu, and Rosie Wilby. Every fortnight between now and autumn, we’ll bring you the inside stories behind the true stories.

Brought to you by author and publishing rockstar Georgie Codd (We Swim to the Shark) and author and broadcaster Emma Byrne (Swearing is Good for You and How to Build a Human), NonFicPod is your home for the latest nonfiction must reads. Our extended cut for Patreon backers, Sh*t I Wish I'd Known, teaches you the lessons that we (and our guests) have learned about writing - and life.
