  • Chris Mullin: Error of Judgement

    Chris Mullin: Error of Judgement
    Jul 15 2024
    This is an interview with Chris Mullin about his 1986 book Error of Judgement, which was an investigation into the conviction of six innocent men for the Birmingham pub bombings in 1974. The book documents his efforts to find the truth, culminating in finding one of the real bombers.

    We speak about his career in journalism before the book, when he went to Vietnam in the 1970s to cover the war there, his work for television, his political career, his novel A Very British Coup, and his series of diaries which started with his experiences as an MP during New Labour.

  • Michael Holden: The Reluctant Carer

    Michael Holden: The Reluctant Carer
    Jul 6 2024
    In this epsiode I interviewed Michael Holden, an exceptional writer who started his career at Loaded magazine in 1994. He ended up in a psychiatric hospital during that time, which we discuss. After that he wrote for The Guardian Guide before becoming a Hollywood writer. Then he ended up back living with his elderly parents, caring for them.

    The result was a book called The Reluctant Carer, which was published in 2022. What is peculiar about it is he published it anonymously. We talk about the pros and cons of that, and why he has decided to finally put his name to it.

    You can buy Michael’s book here at Bookshop.

    His original article from The Guardian in 2019, which we discuss, is here.

    He recommended Going Mad in Hollywood by David Sherwin, which is at Waterstones.

    Thank you for listening.

  • Sally Hayden: My Fourth Time, We Drowned

    Sally Hayden: My Fourth Time, We Drowned
    Apr 23 2024
    I spoke to Sally Hayden about her book My Fourth Time, We Drowned.

    It's about people who tried to cross the Mediterranean Sea from Africa to Europe but ended up locked in detention centres in Libya. The book won the Orwell Prize and was shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize. She describes it as a 'book of evidence'.

    We talked about:
    • her early reporting on the story while working for Vice
    • the role played by business cards
    • the importance of making yourself contactable
    • having to respond to sources at all hours
    • how the story took over her life
    • struggling to get the story commissioned
    • how journalism awards helped change that
    • warnings from MI6 that her life was in danger
    • working out what the book would be
    • finding an agent and publisher who believe in what you're doing
    • giving away her prize money
