(Background noise might make this episode a challenging listen.)

For the 91st Second Hand Book Factory, Charles Adrian is joined in London’s Russell Square by writer, actor, nerd and (whisper it) ex-gymnast Iskandar Sharazuddin. They talk about the swashbuckling founder of an independent dynastic monarchy, the shifting sands of identity and the creation of a ferocious emotional truth.
It is interesting to note, perhaps, how relentlessly noisy central London is.
Saga by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples is also discussed in Page One 188.
Episode released: 19th July, 2016.
