Summary

What a week. There’s been wonderful news from Ireland and so much drama in Italy that we actually had to re-record part of this week’s show at the last minute. Speaking of Italian thrillers: we’ve been chatting to Giuseppe Porcaro, author of brand-new sci-fi novel DISCO SOUR (https://amzn.to/2IVCi7s), about why he decided to set it in a parallel European universe. And Katy’s been talking to Sweden-based Florian Tirnovan about his great project organizing a talent show for deaf people from all around the continent. Plus: a thunderstorm, a requisitioned towel, and an unlikely friendship in the most beautiful (?) corner of Europe. Please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts if you liked the show, it helps other people find us! apple.co/2Ez2KN8 We're supported by Stackry, the global leader in parcel forwarding from the US.

1:04.2	coming to you this week from Amsterdam and Munich. Do you know why this is the third time listeners?
1:10.7	It's because Dominic didn't press record. Yeah, I didn't press record because I'm sitting crouched up in the hallway of my flat in Munich because I'm hiding from the thunderstorm so that it doesn't damage our listeners' lovely ears.
1:18.4	We've got a really professional set up this week, listeners. Dominic is crouched on the floor in the hallway and I am using a towel as a microphone stand because I'm in Amsterdam this week and I forgot
