Reviews
Miranda Sawyer in the Observer
- Broken Veil (Cheese & Pickle) - “Gripping and unnerving… made me shudder for a long time after.”
- World of Secrets: Searching for Soldier Dad (BBC World Service) - “Here’s something far sadder and more everyday… has more in common with Broken Veil than I’d thought. Both are trying to pin down ghosts.”
Patricia Nicol in the Sunday Times
- Service95 Book Club with Dua Lipa (Service95) - “To her interview with Butterworth Lipa brought a fan’s untutored keenness that some more gatekeeping literary types might deem a little inane but I found endearing.”
- Origin Stories (Apple Music) - “Takes emerging acts back to where it all began and to someone who believed in them.”
James Marriott in the Times
- Why Are You More Successful Than Me? (Yes Yes Media) - “I was rather won round in the end. It’s true that there are no hardball questions (“you’ve definitely got an unusual amount of discipline” is not exactly Paxman), but the format works very nicely.
