Episode 21: John Robins
This month on The Allender Calendar I’m talking to comedian, broadcaster, and very good friend John Robins about his book Thirst: Twelve Drinks That Changed My Life. It's a beautifully written account of alcoholism and recovery – candid, profound and very funny. I’m positive it will help a lot of people. I’m extremely proud of John for writing this book, and for getting to the place he’s at now. It was great to talk to him about the writing process, and about addiction, spirituality and much more. I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation!You can get hold of a copy of Thirst here:https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/465247/thirst-by-robins-john/9780241740040And, if you want to support the podcast, you can buy me a coffee here:https://buymeacoffee.com/robinallender Hosted on Acast.
