Appreciate it. I pursued the Winston story for 3 years. A lot more there… the lawyer who gave a legal read of the chess book basically said: “Ok there are no issues. Now why didn’t you just write a book about that Winston kid?”

I think speaking strictly as a heavyweight absolutely and with his career overall, even more so. On top of that, the road warrior component to such a dizzying array of spectacular wins. After Tony Bellew win, how many considered he could do what he’s achieved as a heavyweight?

This week I spoke to Cian O’Clery, director and show-runner for Love on the Spectrum. While it’s marketed as reality TV it’s absent competition, riches, a recording deal, cringe zero sum battle. The stakes feel far higher somehow…

Great fun to have a serious chat.
This week I spoke with A.L. Kennedy about her remarkable book On Bullfighting, which was just rereleased on audiobook. The book covers so much fantastic history of Spain, Lorca, duende, and explores writing itself on such a vital level:
