Poet and author, Andrew McMillan, goes head to head with author and screenwriter Nathan Newman in a War of the Words!

They chat to Joe Haddow about their new novels ('Pity' and 'How To Leave The House'), chosen family, working class towns, comedy from tragedy and, Margaret Thatcher (yes, really).

Nathan and Andrew also recommend some authors and books they have been reading and enjoying recently.
