Episode notes

The Oxford Review is a sort of entertainment club at Oxford. It's the one which everybody wants to be part of with people like The Footlights. As we know, Oxford and Cambridge produce a lot of the UK's top talent. Peter Cook broke through pretty quickly when he was at university.

James Harris is a writer, comedian, English teacher and language learner (French, German, Chinese) from England. In this funny chat, we talk about learning Chinese, being married to a Chinese woman and his semi-autobiographical book, "Midlands" which tells several funny and touching stories about two ex-pats living in Germany; Stuart, who is a stand-up comedian trying to understand the Germans, and Doug who gets involved in a love affair. James reads several passages from the book during the episode.
