Welcome to episode 32 of The Highlo, the weekly news and pop culture podcast brought to

you by journalist Pandora Sykes and Dolly Alderton.

You may have noticed we've been tweaking the format a little bit of late.

Our last two episodes were live recordings.

Thank you so much everyone who came to either our show at Tibbits or our Self-Ridges and

Google events last week.

We'll be going back to regular episodes soon for those of you who hate the non-canned

laughter.

Though we will be introducing a live one from time to time just for kicks.

Today we have another author special for you with a man of the internet and GQ columnist

Jim Chapman who has written a book called 147 Things My Guide to the Universe.

So this is our fourth author special and there always a kind of deep dive into a book

or an author or a subject that has peaked our interests by telling a very brilliant story

or tapping into something particularly relevant or part of the zeitgeist.

So past authors have included Renny Edo Lodge talking about her brilliant searing book

while I'm no longer talking to white people about race.

Elizabeth Day's gorgeous The Party and comedian Rosie Wilby's book that explores non-monogamy

called Ismanogamy Dead.

So we now have Jim who's the first man on the show.

Lucky me.

Thanks for having me.

Thank you so much for joining us today.
