I was fortunate enough to walk and talk with the author, activist and academic, Preti Taneja. Over the course of our stroll we discussed her award-winning debut novel We That Are Young, her experiences in India, her road to publication and teaching creative writing in prison.

I took a trip to the BBC to interview their Security Correspondent, Frank Gardner. We discussed his travels as a young man, the Middle East and his career as a journalist and author. Frank has written two memoirs and the second instalment of his best-selling Luke Carlton series came out in May 2018.

Joe and I went for a stroll in the sunshine, we discussed the shame of long hair, Katie Melua, millennial angst and his three critically acclaimed novels.
