Description

Peter Street started his working life as a gravedigger before becoming a gardener, running a restaurant and teaching in prisons.



The author grew up with epilepsy and a learning disability. But it was therapy for PTSD stemming from his time as a war poet in Croatia, which lead to an autism diagnosis aged 64.



Humorous stories about losing five inches in height in a forestry accident, reading fairy tales to young offenders and his two week stay at a brothel keep Robyn and Jamie entertained during this wide-ranging chat.



With Robyn Steward, her support bat Henry, Jamie Knight and Lion.



Produced by Emma Tracey.
