0:00.0 | 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. |
