UK-based literary podcast Backlisted is the brainchild of John Mitchinson and Andy Miller. The pair invite guests - usually writers - for a conversation about a book they love and that they think deserves a wider audience, though the conversation often meanders down other paths.
As well as co-hosting the popular podcast, Mitchinson is also one of the founders of Unbound - a crowdfunding publisher that prints titles which might not fit the mould elsewhere. So far it has successfully funded more than 600 projects, including many best-sellers and award winning books.
As part of Word Christchurch Festival, Mitchinson and Miller will be recording an episode of Backlisted in front of a live audience with local writer Paula Morris as their guest, to talk about a New Zealand book of her choice.
