What do chess and rockstars have in common? Plenty when you are Amanda Palmer! In proof that life offers up many interesting experiences and opportunities I found myself not only sitting chatting with one of my musical heroes, but playing chess with her as well. We both are professed novices at the game but Ms Palmer triumphed in the end. In a conversation shaped around the In My Chair format we cover a range of topics as we work our way through our game of chess. The interview finishes with Amanda and I doing a duet of Creep by Radiohead. Enjoy!
