Jim Bob

Author JB Morrison, who you might know better as Jim Bob, frontman of Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine, joins Robin and Josie in the studio this week. They talk about moving from songwriter to novel writer and his new memoir In the Shadow of My Former Self which is out very soon. Plus there’s chat of Cormac McCarthy, Jean Rhys and Status Quo. Because of course there is.
