Welcome to ‘Book Plug’ — the funny, sweary, slightly unhinged book podcast that doesn’t care about literary prizes unless someone cried on page 17.Hosted by Mikey Crump: actor, writer, book nerd, and regional loudmouth with a TBR pile taller than a Wetherspoons breakfast. Each week Mikey chats with guests about the books that broke them, bored them, or blew their minds — with tangents, laughs, and the odd overshare along the way.

This week I’m joined by comedian and author Pierre Novellie. We dive into autism, comedy, Discworld, spy thrillers, and somehow… Uncle Ben’s Bridge in the Black Country.
