Usually at this time of year, Read On would be in the beautiful Galloway Hills at the Wigtown Book Festival, but what with Covid and Robert's broken ankle, our attendance this year was doomed! So, this week in a packed show we revisit the 2019 Wigtown Book Festival.
Former Home Secretary Alan Johnson on his book, 'In My Life: A Musical Memoir' (Starts at 1.34)
Kerry Hudson on Lowborn (Down the Chipper) (7.00)
Shaun Bythell has some 'Confessions of a Bookseller' (13.41)
Sarah Jane Douglas treats illness and grief as 'Just Another Mountain' (21.08)
Chair of RNIB Scotland Sandra Wilson on sponsoring a Talking Book (25.03)
Music from, and chat with, The Bookshop Band (27.08)
We go 'Under the Wig' with William Clegg QC (36.00)
Richard Frazer describes his 'Travels with a Stick' (41.04)
Jon Day races pigeons and combines memoir, philosophy and culture in 'Homing' (44.49)
And we get the Books of Your Life from stand up classicist Natalie Haynes. (51.03)
