About this episode
RHLSTP Book Club 48 - I'll Die After Bingo. Rich talks to comedian, ex-drug addict and quaker Pope Lonergan about his brilliant book about working in the care system. They discuss the place of humour in terrible circumstances, how TV portrayals of care homes do not match up to reality, the grim privatised system that isn’t good for any of us and why we should care more about the people who care.
