We enjoyed having Richard back on the podcast, catching up with him since we last spoke with him back in November 2022 (Episode 141 of the main pod!) and hearing about what he has been writing since then. We chat about writing books that will lead readers to your older work, and hear about his two new books - The Scour, out now, and The Infinite State (out next year). Plus, we chat about space roofers (blame Tariq) and of course hear about 5 books that influenced him!
