Roísín Ingle goes back to Caitlin Moran's London home where she lives with husband Peter and two daughters. Caitlin, the journalist and bestselling author of How to Be a Woman, talks to Roísín about home life, her many moves, the chores that, infuriatingly, only she can see need doing, fame, finding new ways to get high - and much much more. It's hard to do Caitlin justice in a short blurb. We hope you enjoy the podcast.
