Summary
*This is part two of John Niven's episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part one first or things might be slightly confusing*
Who doesn't love Scotland? The people are friendly, the pubs are glistening, and the pints are always flowing. It's arguably the ultimate location for pub lovers around the globe, with a higher QPPSM (quality pubs per square mile) than anywhere else. This week's guest hails from the northern side of Hadrian's Wall, and is arguably THE best person to spend an evening at the pub with. It's author and screenwriter John Niven!
John's debut novel 'Kill Your Friends' became an instant classic, and includes plenty of references to the pubs of London. His latest book, 'O Brother', has been put straight into the library at The Moon Under Water, and we cannot recommend it enough. John is also a HUGE pub lover, and we cannot wait to hear what his dream alehouse will look like.
