Looking forward so much to seeing you all again at Sadlers Wells in two weeks. www.mere-mortals.co.uk

'My Name is MacKenzie Bly' is published today, written as a counter-balance to the usual dystopian, crime-encrusted, misery-laden gloom-fest that is the YA novel (though it's for all ages). Read two chapters free on India Knight's wonderful substack: indiaknight.substack.com/p/adrian-mol...

And here’s the novel I wrote! www.panmacmillan.com/authors/nata...

9am today on BBC Radio 4, or catch up on BBC Sounds. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

You know how I love to squish an entire epic poem into 28 minutes…? Well, here comes Apollonius’ Argonautica - a wildly allusive, clever, playful version of the myth of the voyage of the Argo. I played with it in turn when I wrote No Friend, so here it is on its own terms (with added jokes).

Thank you for your lovely comments about today’s ep! We have a schedule change next week, to make space for the BBC’s Bayeux Tapestry programming. So be ready next Friday night for ROMAN TRUE CRIME, with my historical detectives, Hallie Rubenhold and Prof Llewelyn Morgan! Honestly the dream team.

Happy International Dog Day from Ruby. #InternationalDogDay
