    Hungry? Why wait?  Grab a bowl and help yourself to a large serving of our new episode, covering Irvine's short story collection from 2009, Reheated Cabbage. Maybe take some napkins too, because with tales including traumatic amputation by locomotive, afterlife buggery and a Begbie family Christmas dinner, things will get messy.
