This week we are in the fine company of writer, performer and former doctor Adam Kay! Adam's first book This is Going To Hurt spent over a year at number one in the bestseller list. It became the bestselling non-fiction title of the decade, the bestselling non-fiction e-book of all time and the winner of four National Book Awards. His next three titles, Twas the Nightshift Before Christmas, Dear NHS and his new book for children Kay's Anatomy have become instant bestsellers. We talked to Adam about the therapy of reading and writing, bizarre bodily functions, funny books and why you should never read on the toilet.
