Episode 6: Josie Long

This month I chat to the amazing comedian, writer and activist Josie Long about her book of short stories Because I Don't Know What You Mean and What You Don't. Josie's stories are rich and varied – very funny and powerfully moving. The book covers a range of topics including political apathy, romance, motherhood, and the climate crisis. We talk about Josie's inspirations and the differences between stand-up and fiction. She also gives an insight into her new stand-up show Now is the Time of Monsters.

Towards the end we have a brief chat about the film My Old Ass, because we both enjoyed it so much!

And at the very end of the pod I talk a bit about Neko Case, and play a new tune (by me).
