“Funny, touching, unflinching – he’s as easy to read as he is to listen to. My kind of book from my kind of broadcaster.” Gyles Brandreth
Award-winning broadcaster Iain Dale has led a life full of incident and success but also some very public failures. In this refreshingly honest account of his life and careers in business, politics and media, he tells all for the first time.
With the same raw candour that earns him 750,000 weekly listeners, he recounts his journey from driving a combine harvester at age eight to driving the national conversation on LBC, taking in his encounters with a host of household names, including HM Queen Elizabeth II, Sir Cliff Richard, Kylie Minogue, Joan Rivers, Jennifer Saunders, Olivia Newton-John, Terry Pratchett and twelve of our fifty-eight Prime Ministers. He also reflects movingly on coming out at age forty, coming to terms with his thwarted political aspirations, and the heartbreaking phone-ins that have made him ‘the friend they’ve never met’ to millions. This is the ultimate insider’s guide to the corridors of power and the pressures of the studio.
