Alexei Sayle
Season 4 Episode 7
The day before the US election, Robin and Josie sat down with writer, comedian and activist Alexei Sayle. There’s talk of Alexei’s new paperback and his entire back catalogue of work, plus that of Sinclair Lewis, Graham Greene, Saki and what the hell is going on with the world these days. And don’t forget, we’re on tour across Aus and NZ soon, with a whole heap of special guests. Details at cosmicshambleslive.com
