GUEST SPECIAL with Jacob Hawley, comedian and podcaster

Describing himself as 'working-class by Radio 4 standards', comedian and BBC Sounds podcaster Jacob Hawley shares some fascinating and funny insights into class, culture and life as a comedian and new father in a pandemic. 

Bucking the 'books that changed my life' trend, Jacob opts to talk about one of the trashiest novels he's ever read, The Trench (part of The Meg series), as well as giving a nod to a more traditional choice in Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath. Listen to the podcast, then check out his standup special on Radio 4.
