Summary
This week we welcome Mark Haddon (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, A Spot of Bother, The Porpoise) to the podcast for a chat about people-pleasing. Find out where Mark's people-pleasing tendencies come from, what people-pleasing gives us versus what it takes away, and why artists might be particularly prone to it.
We also chat about the impact of having a keen sense of smell on dating, how to write for yourself as well as other people, and why the word 'playwright' is spelled like that. Mark talks about his struggle with long covid, and we discuss how he learned to breathe properly.
You'll also find out who Mark thinks is the best person on Instagram, and why he likens them to a camp vicar.
Buy Mark's hilarious and heartbreaking new memoir (in full colour!) LEAVING HOME. Or wet your whistle with this Guardian extract.
