James is joined by the lovely Tania for a lively wander through the personal and the political, beginning with broken bones and the quiet appeal of decamping to the countryside, before turning to the darker mood of the moment - the sense of something malign edging ever closer. Other subjects include the work of Whitney Webb, Grayson Perry cosplaying as Jimmy Savile, and plenty else besides, in a conversation that is intimate and occasionally unsettling.

The delingpod
For ten years I kept badgering my son to read War and Peace. “It’s possibly the greatest novel you’ll ever read. You’ll love it! It’s a masterpiece,” I promised. And for ten years, he resisted. When finally he did read it, he admitted to me that I was right. “So why didn’t you read it earlier?” I asked. “Because you were so annoyingly enthusiastic about it!”, he replied.
This is why my advice to you is “Don’t listen to the delingpod! It’s boring and it’s rubbish and you’ll hate it!”
