So excited to bring you this episode, which – as explained in the intro – has been sitting on my laptop for waaaay longer than it should have. Sometimes I record things and then I worry so much about making them perfect I don’t publish them at all. But ‘perfect is the enemy of good’ as they say – and there’s so much goodness here. You’ll get six recommendations from me and my guest Phil Chaffee for non-fiction books we loved, plus hear from Daniel Knowles, author of one of our absolute favourites we read last year, Carmageddon. Hope you enjoy it.
