Hi, everybody. Before we start the show, I just wanted to let you know I'm joined by a very exciting guest right now.

0:06.0

It is a world acclaimed author, Andrew Hunter Murray. Hello, Andrew. Hello. You've written a book I hear.

0:12.5

Yes, I've written a book. It's called A Beginner's Guide to Breaking and Entering. It's out in paperback now.

0:17.7

Yes. I've actually read it, and not even just because I'm friends with him because it's such a fun

0:22.4

read and it's actually not a guide to how to break into a house and burglit, which is obviously what I was

0:28.8

hoping for. It's even better than that. Tell us about it. Well, it's about a young guy called Al

0:34.8

who lives in lovely empty second homes when the real life owners are

0:39.4

away. He doesn't break things. He doesn't steal things. He just makes his way in, lives in these

0:43.9

gorgeous places and then gets out again. And this book is the story of when he and his friends

0:48.6

break into the wrong home on the wrong day. Someone ends up dead, not his fault. And things just get more complicated from there.

0:55.6

It's a caper. It is a plus a little bit of satire in the housing market, which every good book needs.

1:00.9

And obviously he joins up with a fun motley crew of fellow breakers and enterers. It really is such a

1:06.2

fun book to read. And I believe it's available in bookshops. Is that right? It's available in all bookshops and

1:12.3

even better. If you're an audio person, it's in a two for one deal on audible. That and one of my

1:17.8

other books the last day are both included in the current audible deal, which is lasting a few more

1:22.1

days where you can get two books for one credit. Do it. Go listen to the book and then read the book. Do both.

1:29.5

It really is worth it. And speaking of guests, we had a fantastic guest on today. We had so much

1:34.0

fun with her in the episode that you're about to hear. It was the excellent comedian Rosie Holt,

1:39.3

who I'm sure many of you are familiar with. And once you've listened to this, if you're in the market,

1:44.6

for some very sharp skewering of what's going on in politics today, you have to check out

1:49.6

her podcast, which is called Non-Censored. On the other hand, if what you fancy is a very

1:55.5

witty satire on the last government, then check out her book, which is called Why We Were Right.
