RHLSTP with Richard Herring: RHLSTP 530 - Paul Heaton

#530 Tudor Spring Onion - Richard is back in Sheffield, questioning the Curse of the Crucible. His guest is pop star and song-writing genius Paul Heaton. They talk about Paul's propensity to collect and audit; why Happy Hour gives Richard unhappy flashbacks; how censorship made one song both worse and also slightly better; the acts of financial generosity which one suspects might just be the tip of the iceberg; how Paul didn't really win awards until he got a big one at 60, but still carries on regardless; writing realistic love songs for older people; and the positives and negatives that booze has had on his life.
