Who doesn't love a good cry? In this episode, we talk about why people like to read stuff that makes them sad, and I tell you how you can make your readers sob.

I'm going to ramble about The Time Traveller's Wife but not nearly as much as I talk about Call The Midwife. Just be warned. (Also I'm going to talk about pet death a couple of times - maybe don't listen if you've just lost your cat.)

And as always, there's going to be a heart-wrenching writing prompt at the end, so don't fall apart before that.
