Episode three's guest is author Tom Cox. We discuss Tom's choice to leave legacy media to create the writing he's passionate about (he did it before it was cool), newspapers, publishing and media, class identity and creativity. Tom talks through his unusual and inspiring trajectory as a writer, navigating failure, what he's learned along the way, his upcoming debut novel, and the benefits of year-round sea swimming. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
