For the latest podcast Ali spoke to TV comedy writer and author Lee Stuart Evans to talk about his new novel Pleasantly Disturbed, which is published with Scratching Shed Publishing Ltd.
Lee gives a brief synopsis of the novel before talking about why he wanted to write it, and the central part music, and particularly Simple Minds, plays in the story he wanted to tell.
The two then go deep on their shared appreciation of the 'Minds, before talking about music obsessions, the strength of fandom - particularly in the formative years, the influence of Gregory's Girl and the films of John Hughes, and how, in your teens, and to quote Ferris Bueller, "life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it".
It's an amiable and affable conversation which gets to the heart of why pop culture, and music in particular, can not just affect but change and shape lives, and it was such a pleasure to discuss Lee's novel in detail, but there's so much more.
