It’s time for another book club episode on Heyer Today, the podcast all about Georgette Heyer and her work. Guests are Sara-Mae’s hubby Mike Scott, who’s finally cracked and allowed her to convince him to read ‘The Unknown Ajax’, along with travel journo and radio broadcaster, Rob Crossan. So far, the convert tally numbers 10.5 out of 14. Will she convert Rob and Mike?
Apart from being Sara-Mae’s husband, Mike’s also a Partnership Manager for MacMillan Cancer Support, a charity he’s long been passionate about.
Rob is a published author, freelance journalist and radio presenter based in Stockwell, South London. He’s got over ten years’ experience writing and talking about travel, lifestyle, food, music, books and disability affairs. And he’s been published absolutely everywhere from The Sunday Times, Tatler, The Guardian to CNN Travel and more. You can hear him on BBC radio shows including ‘From Our Own Correspondent’, ‘Cerys Matthews’ on BBC 6 Music, Feedback on BBC Radio Four, plus he has a fab show called The Happiness Map, in which he chats to musicians like Elvis Costello about the music they associate with a favourite travel destination.
Join us for audio drama featuring Sarah Golding, Fiona Thraille and John Grayson, as well as historical contextualisation and a discussion of Heyer’s one and only interview with Aussie war correspondant and journalist, Coral Craig. Plus extracts from the audio book courtesy of Audible.
