Former journalist and writer, Michael Brissenden discussed his latest novel, ‘Dust’ with me on the show.
Topics included:
- How Dust came to be - its real-world, real location inspiration.
- Communities turning on one another during a crisis - how the finger-pointing/blame-shifting can happen so quickly and how factions can form so easily.
- The role media and media coverage plays, even in small, local community issues and what lasting, widespread impact it can have.
- Forms of self-radicalisation and how they are shown in the novel.
- And a ton more!
Thanks be to Michael for discussing Dust with me on the show!
