Line Dancing, A Night Out with Barry Manilow & Mystery Boxes.

Katie & Lucy Chat to Author and Broadcaster A.J West

📚 JUST IN CASE YOU MISSED IT... 📚 With A.J. West's [https://ajwestauthor.com]brilliant new book "How Queer Bookshops Changed the World"  out now, we thought it was the perfect time to revisit one of our favourite conversations from the Slinky archives. Last year, Katie and Lucy sat down with author, journalist, broadcaster and all-round lovely human A.J. West for a fascinating chat about writing, creativity and the stories that shape us. You might know A.J. from his bestselling novels "The Spirit Engineer" and "The Betrayal of Thomas True", his work across BBC Radio and television, or even from his appearance on Big Brother back in 2016. In this special episode, A.J. talks about: ✨ Finding inspiration in unexpected places. ✨ Why he's never been afraid to knock on doors and ask questions. ✨ His writing process. ✨ The remarkable true story behind "The Betrayal of Thomas True". ✨ How one slightly boozy night out sparked something very special. If you've discovered A.J. through his latest book, or you're looking for your next podcast listen, this is a great place to start. 🎧 Grab a brew, get comfy and join us for a chat with one of our favourite guests. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Line Dancing, A Night Out with Barry Manilow & Mystery Boxes.

Grab a brew (or a glass of Malbec) and join Katie & Lucy for another gloriously chaotic episode of Slinky By Tuesday! This week, the sisters discuss their latest adventure into the world of line dancing and reveal whether they've got what it takes to become honorary members of the Slinky Shufflers. There's also a night out with Barry Manilow... well, sort of. Let's just say things don't always go quite to plan when Katie and Lucy are involved. Katie shares her latest obsession, which may or may not become everyone else's by the end of the episode, while the pair catch up on all things Katie & Lucy's Book Club, including what they're reading and what's coming up next. Of course, no episode would be complete without another instalment of Dog of the Week, celebrating one very good boy or girl plus the next chapter of The Secret Diary of Dudley the Puppy, where Dudley continues his mission to create maximum chaos with minimum effort. Expect laughs, sisterly nonsense, books, dogs, questionable life choices and the usual amount of tangents. New episodes every Tuesday. Put the kettle on, get comfortable and come and join the Slinky gang. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
