In this episode I am joined by author Darren Simpson. The creator of 'Scavengers' and 'The Memory Thieves' moved around a lot growing up and wanted to be a drummer when he left college. Although that dream didn't quite pan out, he instead channelled his creativity into writing wonderful stories for younger readers. Here, we discuss how hard work pays off when it comes to achieving a goal and look forward to the release of his newest novel, 'Furthermoor'.

In the episode we look at Badger's school days, becoming a Strongman by accident and of course, the burning question, "What is your favourite Disney movie?"
