Description
Here we are at episode 60 and we are yet again joined by another special guest, this time academic and writer, Francis O’Gorman. Francis chats with us about his book, Worrying: A Literary and Cultural History. As well as discussing worrying in general, we get to bend Francis’ ear about why the word existential doesn’t appear in his book: is this an English vs continental difference? And we also try and establish what the use of worrying may be! You can purchase Francis’ book at Amazon (and other good bookshops): https://goo.gl/fo2yYg
