EP 134: Author of “Everything You Ever Taught Me” sits with Imust

Imust interviews Person Irresponsible, Author of "Everything You Ever Taught Me": If you've a lot on your mind, go for a walk... Person Irresponsible: Female. Aged 46. Average height. Large rear. In the midst of a mid-life crisis. It probably began when I was about four. Hoping I'll overcome it one day. Can't afford a Ferrari, and I can't be bothered with an affair. I bought a quad-bike instead but then I sold that when I buggered off to America for six months to live in the wilderness.   Got into the recovery gig aged 41, almost by accident. So I'm now *that* boring divorcee, teetotaller, vegetarian and cat owner that absolutely no one wants to invite to their dinner parties. Anyway, I wrote a book about walking from Mexico to Canada, whilst trying to stay sane during a pandemic. Please buy it - the cat is also in the throes of a mid-life crisis, as well as an existential one - probably since he was born. Vet bills are costly. For pictures of my trip go to www.mlconquad.com Note well - no longer skinny like the bio picture implies. Thank you.   No Sippy No Slippy.
