Freedom, Books, Flowers, and the Moon is a podcast dedicated to "books and ideas" from The Times Literary Supplement. The title of the podcast comes from an Oscar Wilde quote: "With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?" In each episode, TLS editors chat about a different literary or historical topic, often with expert guests. For instance, in the February 22, 2018, episode of the podcast writer Oliver Moody talks about Isaac Newton's eccentricities. Moody recently published an article on the subject in TLS. In another recent episode, biographer Kathryn Hughes talks about Charlotte Bronte and why people are tempted to conflate the author with her most famous character, Jane Eyre.
