This week we're giddy with excitement to speak with the author of one of our favourite book's of recent times, Patrick Freyne! Patrick is a journalist, musician and the author of the essay collection Ok, Let's Do Your Stupid Idea which is hilariously funny, wise and deeply moving. We talked to him about apocalypse strategies, the joy of short books and the power of Adrian Mole. To learn more or donate to the charity FareShare visit FareShare.org.uk
