Former journalist and writer, Michael Brissenden discussed his latest novel, ‘Dust’ with me on the show. Topics included: - How Dust came to be - its real-world, real location inspiration. - Communities turning on one another during a crisis - how the finger-pointing/blame-shifting can happen so quickly and how factions can form so easily. - The role media and media coverage plays, even in small, local community issues and what lasting, widespread impact it can have. - Forms of self-radicalisation and how they are shown in the novel. - And a ton more! Thanks be to Michael for discussing Dust with me on the show!
