Joining TOM JACKSON to discuss the postcards from her past is violinist, musical director and author HELEN O’HARA (Dexy’s Midnight Runners, What She’s Like). Together we meet the knockoff Bee Gees, send a bikini to Birmingham, discover a battleship charm, and ponder Eddie Calvert played backwards. And we’ll hear tales of life on the road, shopping sprees in Brooks Brothers and letting down the Bilbao Symphony Orchestra for a life in pop music. Wish you were here?

Joining TOM JACKSON to discuss the postcards from his past is writer and autograph dealer ADAM ANDRUSIER (The Autograph Hunter). Together we consider fame, authenticity and collecting, encountering on the way the few celebrity inhabitants of Pinner, a reluctant Ray Charles, a broken wrist and a cancelled holiday. We get our pictures drawn by computer, meet the poet laureate and man the telex while doing our best not to leak state secrets on a postcard. Wish you were here?

Joining TOM JACKSON to discuss the postcards from his past is writer and traveller MAX LEONARD (Vintage Alpine Postcards, Higher Calling, Bunker Research and Lanterne Rouge). Together we head for the mountains, encountering on the way stolen cakes, power cuts and proof of penguins and pump rooms. We meet the spirit of the glacier, consider imagined mountain scenery, a revolving solarium and the underwhelming lights of Broadstairs. Wish you were here?
