We're heading Stateside again this week on The Hobcast Book Show to meet our guest, C McGee. By day, he's Professor Caleb Husmann, teaching political science at William Peace University in North Carolina, and by night he's C McGee, author of satirical mystery, Owen O'Shea - Stay-At-Home Dad, Wannabe Detective. As Caleb explains to us, once his dreams of becoming a professional soccer player ended, he needed a new challenge, one that took him way outside his comfort zone. That was writing. He also explains how challenging it can be to hold the attention of his students in a world of electronic distractions. It's a great interview.
Also this week, Adrian and Rebecca discuss the disturbing findings of a UK publishing industry survey that suggests that 97% of respondents had suffered from burnout, and they explain how April 1st 2024 will go down in publishing history with the launch of their new AI service - CAT GPT!
