Four Books a Fortnight is a arts podcast hosted by Hannah Harlow and Sam Pfeifle. It has 100 episodes, with the latest published April 2026.

Hannah Harlow and Sam Pfeifle, siblings and co-owners of the Book Shop of Beverly Farms, read four books every two weeks and tell you what they think! And we rate every single book with a sound effect. See which books get an explosion (this book is the bomb!) and which get a whoopie cushion (we would never!). Have a book you want our thoughts on? Hit us up at [email protected].
