The Last Pebble
Richard is in the Podcast Room with Taskmaster genius Alex Horne to talk about his kids' book The Last Pebble. How did he find time to write a book? Was he worried about looking like another celebrity cashing in? Is it OK to take pebbles from the beach. Plus how the book changed with the help of an editor and could have been about a talking stone, the incredible life cycle of pebbles and how every book is a bit like a pebble in the ocean. Plus lots of chat about the future of Taskmaster, whether Richard is Everton, the amazing 24 hours of How Long Has This Been Going On? And whether Rich is prepared to take over from Greg Davies.
