This week's episode, with Danny Doran, begins with a tale of how a trip to Mcdonald's took an embarrassing turn before the first day ends on a tragic note.

A discussion on schooldays then ensues, with reflections on how difficult it is to choose the right subjects, and how easy it is to miss opportunities by following the wrong path.

Fast forward to Australia, in 2004, when another one of those life-changing decision moments comes along. To go, or not to go, that was the question.

In the second part of the podcast, we discuss the immediate post-war years in the USA, focusing on Henry Miller, and I reveal why I missed out on reading his books as a teenager.
