Robin Ince - You're Booked

You're Booked

This week on the show we're delighted to present the legend that is Robin Ince! Robin is an acclaimed stand-up, star of Infinite Monkey Cage, podcast host and the author of Importance of Being Interested, I'm a Joke, Bibliomaniac and more! We talked to him outside the Tom Thumb Theatre in Margate (sorry about the extraneous noise) about obsessive book collecting, Kurt Vonnegut's library, the importance of art and what to say when you meet Patti Smith. Find out more about all the books mentioned by visiting our Bookshop.org store. Order your copy of Daisy's new novel Pity Party RIGHT HERE and see book tour dates at Daisy's Substack...
