Beneath the Page podcast
Launched in April 2025, I co-host (along with Sophie Beal) Beneath the Page, a podcast about books and the authors who write them.
All writers, whether we mean to or not, let something of ourselves bleed through into our work. Beneath the Page features in-depth author interviews, hoping to uncover more of the writer, as well as introducing readers to books they might enjoy discovering. There’s a lot of laughter too.
We publish a new episode every two weeks – here’s the latest one.

Episode 24: Mike Leaver
Steve and Sophie talk to Mike Leaver, idiosyncratic author of Newspaper Curtains, plus other novels and memoirs. I liken his characters to those of Jonas Jonasson (The 100 Year Old Man Who Jumped Out the Window and Disappeared).
