Book Shambles

Author Dan Richards’ new book Outpost is all about journeying into the wilderness and finding the edges of civilisation. But Robin and Dan got very sidetracked and didn’t talk about that. So go get a copy of Dan’s book after you’ve listened to a conversation about Wind in the Willows, miscast fictional detectives, Winnie the Pooh audiobooks and Keith Moon’s interactions with grandmothers…
