Hello, it's Liv Bentley here and my podcast, Private Parts, is currently sponsored by Audible.

And today I want to talk to you about an amazing debut novel from screenwriter Liv Parkinson.

With mind-bending twists and turns, the dropouts is an unforgettable dark thriller,

based around new student Kaylee Morris's first year at university, struggling with anxiety and the pressure to achieve top grades. It's a story about addiction, trauma and the anxiety epidemic experienced by young people

today. It's right up my street. Listen now, only on Audible. Subscription required. Seeaudible.com.

I tell you what I do think, and I think this of most comedians, I think any comedian could walk into a job in advertising and do better than most people.

You do need the stage time, but that's a whole other story yeah no but I do

think that most comedians I think what they have is an extraordinary

fearlessness that is necessary to do that job so what I would say I actually

don't think it's fear what do do you think? Because there's fear.

There's loads of fear.
