This week, I am speaking to Gregory David Roberts.
He is a former heroin addict, escaped convict, and now a musician living in Jamaica.

His bestselling book, Shantaram, is now a TV series on Apple TV+ and we chat about all things from his experience in a straight jacket to living in India for ten years on the run.

I am still on holiday in Jamaica, so looking forward to sharing more about that in the next few weeks.
