#8 - David Hepworth
‘In The Bookshop’ is a podcast about books, usually recorded in an actual bookshop - George Street Community Bookshop - in Glossop, Derbyshire, UK. However, at the moment we are recording remotely (and safely) but the premise remains the same - we invite guests onto the podcast to talk about some of their favourite books with shop manager Steve Roberts.
Joining us 'In The Bookshop' for this episode is author and broadcaster David Hepworth, who been writing, broadcasting and speaking about music and media since the 1970s. He was involved in the launch and editing of magazines such as Smash Hits, Q, Mojo and The Word, among many others. As a broadcaster, he was one of the presenters of The Old Grey Whistle Test in the 1980s and one of the anchors of the BBC’s coverage of Live Aid in 1985.
These days, he’s the author of a string of best-selling music books, the latest of which is Overpaid, Oversexed And Over There. He’s also a prolific podcaster, co-hosting the ‘Word In Your Ear’ podcast and YouTube spin-off ‘Word In Your Attic’ with his friend and former colleague Mark Ellen.
The books discussed are:
Weekend Wodehouse - a collection of P.G. Wodehouse
Awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom - Nik Cohn
The Day of The Jackal - Frederick Forsyth
The Custom of the Country - Edith Wharton
The Warmth of Other Suns - Isabel Wilkerson
About the bookshop:
Based in George Street, Glossop, we are an independent, second-hand bookshop, owned and run by the community, showcasing a huge range of genre fiction, collectibles, local interest books and children’s literature. Established in July 2018, we are breathing new life into this local treasure. Please check website or our social media accounts for current opening times.
