The PG Wodehouse Society (UK) presents: The World of Wodehouse Podcasts

The PG Wodehouse Society (UK) celebrates the work of the great humourist in a series of audio podcasts by Wodehouse’s celebrity fans.

The World of Wodehouse Podcast by Dr Ollie Randall who is a writer, historian and cartoonist. He is the author of Writers in Whites: How a group of literary cricketers changed English culture (Fairfield Books, May 2026), in which P.G. Wodehouse features prominently in Chapter Three. Writers in Whites has been described as "superb" (London Review of Books) and "engaging and well-researched" (Literary Review). Ollie has worked as the historical researcher for a former leader of the House of Lords, and as a tour manager on cultural tours. His second book Lords and Maharajas – about the political intrigue and imperial crisis that shaped the origins of Indian international cricket – is due out in autumn 2026.

This podcast and others in the series is brought to you by The PG Wodehouse Society (UK).
