Miranda is a prolific host for the New Books Network podcast, interviewing over 150 authors per year!
Since December 2021, Miranda has interviewed over 475 authors as a host on the New Books Network, one of the largest podcast networks in the world.
She tends to interview authors of books that seek to interrogate and subvert preconceptions about elements of history that have either been neglected in scholarship, or are being analysed through a niche, novel lens.
