Ep 597 - Matt Haig chats about his new book

Matt Haig chats with Shaun about his new book, and Matt Everitt chats with Sparks in the Music News. Plus, Bobby Gillespie and Jehnny Beth are today's Album of the Day.

Wednesday sees author Matt Haig joining Shaun to chat about his new book - The Comfort Book. It's Matt鈥檚 third non-fiction book following on from number 1 bestsellers Reasons to Stay Alive and Notes on a Nervous Planet and came about during the first lockdown when Matt started writing down things that brought him comfort (everything from his favourite songs to lines of Emily Dickinson鈥檚 poetry to quotes by Stoic philosophers), which became a coping mechanism during a difficult year. Matt Haig has now sold over 3 million books in the UK. He also collaborated with Andy Burrows from Razorlight on the Reasons to Stay Alive album, with lyrics taken from Matt鈥檚 book of the same name.

Plus, our Music News journalist Matt Everitt has the latest Music News which includes a chat with Sparks some new music from Courtney Barnett and a chat with Laura Marking about her Limp project. Plus, another Small Claims Court caller joins with their claim to fame.

All this alongside a 3rd play of our Liked and Shared track of the week - this week it's the brilliant new track from Bess Atwell, Shaun has a track from today鈥檚 Album of the Day from Bobby Gillespie & Jehnny Beth and GoldSoundZ kicks off the show with 30 minutes of 6 Music BANGERS!
