This show is dedicated to an interview with author Sarah Mussi, and a break from my usual chat and music. We touch on subjects as wide as global debt, poverty, racism and the slave trade, as her book is a modern action adventure in which a teenage boy investigates his African roots. Sarah’s book, The Door of No Return was recently published by Hodder and has some rave reviews on Amazon, in The Times and on Waterstones’ website. I feel privileged to be Sarah’s friend and to have been able to interview her about her writing.

Casting Pods is podcasting on the edge. Well, close to the corner, or maybe a bit round the bend. Anyway, it's me, Josie, talking about my life and stuff, playing my music and laughing with my son, my dog and taking the pee out of everything. I'm a blog-o-maniac, an internet freak and also some other rather ordinary things. If you're a mother, a cat-owner, a dog-owner, a lesbian, a writer, a reader, an artist, a TV watcher, a geek, a joker or anyone with a pulse, then there'll be something in my show for you. So come along and have a listen.

I would rate the show as a PG in that it has mature content but is not explicit. But then it depends on your perception of the world. If you consider the words LESBIAN or FEMINIST or ANTI-WAR to be explicit and not fit for the ears of vulnerable youngsters with malleable minds, then you go ahead and feed them your own propaganda instead. They'll make up their own minds when they're older anyway.

This show started out as an audio blog and travelogue but has progressed into ‘how I got my publishing contract’. My novel Silence is due out in July 2008 and the most recent shows outline how this came about. For more information about this novel and my other writing, see my main website at www.josiehenley.net
