About this episode
After a couple of years, Richard Holloway, award winning author and former Bishop of Edinburgh, returns to Book Shambles, albeit remotely. He chats to Robin and Josie about his new book, The Stories We Tell Ourselves which looks at the power, both good and bad, of stories. They look at today's political landscape, grappling with our past and Josie is shocked to learn Richard's never read a Kurt Vonnegut novel.
