<p><strong>RHLSTP Book Club #163 - Lost On Infinity - </strong>Richard talks to Steve Punt about the book and incredible multi-media experience that he has created (along with Elaine and Matthew Sweetapple), Lost On Infinity. They have a long chat about Steve’s Benjamin Button career from starting on BBC1 on the Jasper Carrott show to 26 years on the Now Show, the lessons that the rollercoaster of Weekending taught them both and whether Eric Idle might be Steve’s dad. Then they discuss the long gestation period of the book and the rock opera and why it was important that for all the magic of the writing that the project was scientific, how it manages to make points about the environment and extinction without detracting from the story, whether it would be preferable to live in a world without dogs or without humans, why the ultimate goal is to create a work that can be enjoyed by all members of a family and why it’s good to use language and music that pushes the reader of listener and doesn’t patronise them.</p><br><p>Buy the book here - <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lost-Infinity-creatures-incredible-dramatised/dp/1739263065" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lost-Infinity-creatures-incredible-dramatised/dp/1739263065</a></p><p>Find out more about Rockford’s Rock Opera at <a href="https://RockfordsRockOpera.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">RockfordsRockOpera.com</a></p><br><p><strong>SUPPORT THE SHOW!</strong></p><p><strong>See details of the </strong><a href="https://richardherring.com/gigs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">RHLSTP LIVE DATES </a></p><p><strong>Watch our </strong><a href="https://twitch.tv/rkherring" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TWITCH CHANNEL</a></p><p><strong>Become a badger and see extra content at our </strong><a href="https://rhlstp.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">WEBSITE </a></p><p><strong>Buy DVDs and books from </strong><a href="https://gofasterstripe.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">GO FASTER STRIPE</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
