Joining Charles Adrian for the 90th Second Hand Book Factory is creative layabout, also actor, writer and blagger, Joseph Paterson. They talk about seeing the world through someone else’s eyes, the crossroads of people’s lives, and the pleasure that comes with being read to.
As you will hear, Joseph would like it to be known that the phrase he was looking for to describe himself is WINGING IT.
