Happy New Year!

Back to the Books is kicking off 2023 in style in this very special episode of Back to the Books, featuring the incredibly talented author Oliver Mol. Oliver was a successful, healthy twenty-five year old writer when he developed a migraine that would last for ten months. He couldn't read, write or look at a screen for more than a few moments. Navigating a dark and difficult journey with chronic pain, Oliver eventually applied to be a train guard and slowly, he began to emerge again. He details this journey and more in his brilliant memoir TRAIN LORD, and talks with Kieran about the process of healing, why we need storytellers more than ever and what he really thinks of the London overground.
