Happy Wednesday. Welcome to The Brew. At 12:10 Tracy Quan joins us live from New York for an all-books, all-publishing week, and she’s got two she’s excited about. 'The Hill' is Harriet Clark’s 2026 novel about a girl who grows up visiting her mother in a hilltop prison, and vows to keep going back. 'Long Players', from 2021, gathers writers on the albums that shaped them, from Bowie to Joni Mitchell and beyond. RTL France’s Philippe Dova is still away working in France, and there’s no Classical Music Day either, as Paul Archibald is busy listening to a million young brass players in Bangkok this week.
