Nothing much to talk about this week.... aye right! Always good to have Angela and Paddy on the show - good insights.

At the end of the show we had lined up a huge listener question section but due to time constraints we had to edit it a bit.

Recommendations:

Angela

Paddy

Last Week Tonight - HBO

The North Face of Soho - Clive James - Book

Eamonn

House Arrest - Alan Bennet - Book

A year in and out of lockdown as experienced by Alan Bennett.


The diary takes us from the filming of Talking Heads to thoughts on Boris Johnson, from his father's short-lived craze for family fishing trips, to stair lifts, junk shops of old, having a haircut, and encounters on the local park bench. A lyrical afterword describes the journey home to Yorkshire from King's Cross station via fish and chips on Quebec Street, past childhood landmarks of Leeds, through Coniston Cold, over the infant River Aire, and on.
