We are so delighted to bring you this nourishing, fascinating and frequently hilarious conversation with comedian, podcaster, Taskmaster alumnus and now memoirist Fern Brady! Fern is an acclaimed and celebrated stand-up (currently on tour around the UK), co-hosted the BBC podcast Wheel of Misfortune with Alison Spittle and has just released the remarkable memoir Strong Female Character which covers autism, stripping and Catholicism. It's very funny. We talked to Fern about Jean Rhys, her obsession with Jeanette Winterson, memoir qualms and why teenage boys don't eat vegetables. For your chance to appear on the podcast, pre-order Daisy's next book Limelight from Bookshop.org.
