Wendy Wason's Words of Wisdom Wendy Wason

There has been a bit of a delay getting this episode up due to technical problems. The wonderful Tara Flynn was staying with us and we had a long and at times emotional chat about life, her career and her crucial campaign to repeal the 8th. 

Tiernan is a comic I could chat to forever. We have shared car-journeys, gigs and late-night coffees in service stations. I always thought his name was from his Irish background but thats not even close! He explains all in this podcast along with his feelings on Jeremy Corbyn. He also talks us through the joy of doing Mark Watson's 24 hour stand-up show. All kinds of things can happen. On one occasion Gillian Anderson - from X-files and The Fall - turned up and shaved his back.

Ruth and I started off jovial and then got all serious. We covered Ruth's fear of flying, political correctness and science. I also learned about lovely places to go in America and trial by Twitter which isn't as much fun as it sounds.

This is a short one as we were pushed for time but the ever joyful Damien Clark regales us with tales of the tube, travelling and a stolen phone.

Dan Schreiber is very clever. He is one of the QI elves and created the Radio 4 show The Museum of Curiosity. Incidentally, QI means Quite Interesting.We talked a lot about books. Dan has read heaps and recommends places for us to go to find great books. Lots of areas were covered in this chat and we actually ran out of time so he's going to come back and finish what we started. I asked him to give us his 5 must-read books but we only made it to number 4. Along the way we heard some terrific anecdotes about Richard Pryor and Harpo Marx. Enjoy. 

Eric is a comic who not only gigs in English and French but has just tried his hand at comedy in German too. He has eaten a wide array of bizarre food stuffs and like to challenge himself by doing things like jumping out of planes - none of which I knew until we sat down to chat. We also covered surviving the apocalypse and the British Museum. So there you go.
