LATEST EPISODE 🔗
WOW! What a trip. What a break. What a comeback(?!).
I can hear some chasms in this episode - I apologise for the tiny crackling noises you can hear. I am fresh back to editing and trying to work out how I can reduce them/eliminate them completely. (Any tips gratefully received)

WOW! I am back (after ten short months). I've had a lot going on this year and I have really lost all semblance of organisation, with regards to this podcast.
This episode in particular has taken me a very long time to edit; I have kept abandoning it and then returning back to it. It's been an u…
James's book of choice was Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles.
This book gave James a new meaning of purpose, and allowed him to 'slow down' in a meaningful way. It was great to speak with James about his philosophy towards life and how we s…
Connor's book of choice was Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. A classic
I was a bit nervous to interview Connor as he interviews people for a living, but he was an absolute delight and this was lots of fun to record. It was also great to reminisce about Of Mice and Men (although I had to cut a lo…
Millie's book of choice was Normal People by Sally Rooney. The TV adaptation (the chain) was also discussed
I forgot to ask Millie how we know each other during recording - Millie is a family friend and she is like a little sister to me. Although I'm 100% the one who learns from the other in this …
Aaron's book of choice is Deschooling Society by Ivan Illich. Illich was a pretty radical dude :p
This episode is as much of a beginner's guide to philosophy of education, as it is a discussion about the book. There was a lot said that I chose to keep because it was interesting to hear about, and …
Andy's book of choice is his own journal, which he has started keeping recently as a tool to combat anxiety. Our conversation lasted for 2.5 hours overall, and it was very difficult to trim down to this final product - Andy is THAT funny. Enjoy!
Roisin's book of choice is a collection of pieces of writing by journalist and screenwriter Nora Ephron. The book - which is something of a 'bible' to Roisin - provides lots of laughter, which is something that is very important to both Roisin and I! :)
Will's book of choice is Slaughterhouse-Five; a book commonly accepted as an anti-war book. We discuss war and history as a subject - and the importance of telling it in an informed way.
The first 'proper' guest of the series is Georgia Redgrave, who has chosen to discuss a book called A Little Life.
The book contains difficult themes, so please do not listen to this episode if you feel triggered by mention of self-harm and abuse. x
