GBA 280 Joe Marshall

Summary: In GBA 280 we get better acquainted with Joe Marshall. He talks about his journey from being a child who thought words weren't for him due to dyslexia and bad education to eventually becoming an award winning travel writer. Along the way we talk words, true stories, depression, hair beading in Cornwall and what crap rooms can tell us about the housing crisis.
