Recently overtaking Google as the most visited website in 2021, TikTok has taken the internet and the world by storm.
The app, which allows users to upload short videos, has already had a massive influence on music, fashion and culture since it was launched in 2017 which only looks set to grow.
A slightly more surprising phenomenon to come out of TikTok is the huge influence it has had on users' reading habits.
The hashtag #BookTok has over 34.5 billion views after it exploded during the pandemic. It features creators showing and describing their favourite books to viewers, and has helped see the meteoric rise of books like The Song of Achilles and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
Host Ryan Hogg is joined by fellow journalists Elena Salvoni, Yasmin Choudhury and Rachel Muir to discuss what BookTok actually means, how it is influencing readers’ book choices and what the trend might mean for publishers.
Yasmin will also speak to Nina Athill, a 22-year-old BookTok influencer from Walthamstow whose account @ninasbookshelf has over 31.2k followers on the app.
They discuss how Nina got into BookTok influencing, how her account made it big in the States and what she thinks the future of BookTok will be.

For more than 30 years, Daryl Davis, 63, has met with more than 200 members of the Klan, and other white supremacists, in search of an answer to a question that has come to define the course of his life: "How can you hate me if you do not know me?"
In this episode, we are joined by Daryl to explore his remarkable journey, and to unpick the events and encounters that inspired this internationally renowned musician to embark on a quest to heal division. We talk to former Klan member, Scott Shepherd, who, by meeting with Daryl, eventually disavowed his allegiance – and even publicly apologised to the daughter of Martin Luther King Jr for previous comments he'd made about the civil rights leader. We also hear from Yvette Williams MBE, Director of the Justice for Grenfell campaign, on the ways in which Daryl's message can be applied in London.

Finding out what gift to give someone can be difficult. What does that person like? Should you regift something? Would they appreciate receiving an experience maybe?
The Regifted Podcast, with Georgie McCartney, Imogen Willis, Louise Rasmussen and Richard Wheatley, tries to guide you through the pitfalls and joys of gifting and regifting.
We speak to Dr Jackie Clarke, Reader in Consumer Behaviour and Marketing at Oxford Brookes Business School, about why humans give gifts across different societies in the first place, and hear about why experience gifts have become so popular over the past years.
And of course, we share our own wonderful, disappointing, quirky, and memorable experiences with gifting and regifting.
Brooke Davies, Charissa Cheong, Meg Amin, Milly Isaacs and Perkin Amalaraj dive deep into the world of horoscopes, personality tests and how they compare, in order to answer the question once and for all: are our personalities written in the stars?
Journalists are in the fourth-least trusted profession in Britain, a yearly survey has found. Almost two-thirds of people asked said they don't trust journalists to tell the truth, according to the Ipsos MORI Veracity Index’s December 2021 edition. Despite trust in journalism recording a rise from 2020 levels, the only professions ranked lower are government ministers, politicians in general and advertising executives. So why are journalists deemed so untrustworthy? Do the internet and social media have something to do with it? And how does this affect journalists themselves? Trainee reporters Iwan, James, Matthew and Marina are joined by former managing editor of the Sun Graham Dudman and news literacy project NewsWise’s Sorcha Hughes to discuss distrust, disinformation and the news media.

The Health Gap is a brand-new podcast from South West Londoner about all things women’s health.
Presented and produced by journalists Lucy Carr, Emily-Jane Heap, Kirsten Grant and Madison Bentley, this series will explore gender inequalities across the UK health services.
Each week will see The Health Gap hosts talk with experts to demystify concerns surrounding women’s health issues, debunk age-old misconceptions about the female body, and bring to light the issue of misdiagnosis and dismissal of women’s symptoms.
This week’s episode focuses on how the COVID-19 pandemic has magnified gender inequalities in the healthcare system.
Topics of discussion include the widespread panic triggered by the AstraZeneca vaccine’s potential to cause blood clots, versus the lack of discourse surrounding the Pill, which carries a comparatively higher risk of causing the same life-threatening issue.
This week’s episode of The Health Gap welcomes special guests Dr Elinor Cleghorn and Dr Nitu Bajekal.
Dr Elinor Cleghorn is a feminist cultural historian who specialises in the history of medicine, focusing particularly on how those histories relate to women's bodies and illnesses.
Dr Nitu Bajekal is a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist with over 35 years of clinical experience in women’s health.

In 2017 concerns were raised in European courts about the increasing presence of plant based dairy alternatives and whether it was appropriate to label them ‘milk’. Milk is defined by the EU as “the produce of the milking of one or more farmed animals”, but this definition brings up the question - what is breast milk? and if nut milk isn’t milk, is it nut juice? If you want to know the answer, then listen to nut juice.

Popular reality TV show Love Island and its love-seeking contestants have caught the eye of millions across the UK, so in this podcast SWL explores its role in the history of dating.
Behind the beefy muscles, blindingly white teeth, and skimpy clothes, can we glimpse the legacy of courting strategies spanning hundreds of years?
While murdering wildebeests may be out of vogue, the use of love tokens to relay affection and a gaggle of girls beautifying one another may not have looked amiss to our not-too-distant ancestors.
Together with author of “A History of Courtship: 800 Years of Seduction Techniques," Tania O’Donnell, we explore how dating has evolved through the ages.
Featuring Stephanie Stapleton and Matthew Chalmers with editing by Mason Quah and Michael Murphy.
