About the episode
Alex Dyson is a quirky, kind, and colourful comedian, podcaster, and young adult fiction writer. In this episode, Alex opens up about losing his mum at the age of 4, and the book series that provided comfort by allowing him to escape into his imagination. Growing up in Warrnambool where he played AFL football and studied tap dancing, Alex came across books by The Chaser and Shaun Micallef, which profoundly impacted his desire to be funny for a career. Here we get a glimpse into Alex’s empathetic and hopeful nature and are introduced to the books that changed his perspective on his place in the world. Some of the books covered in this episode of TBTCML are: Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer The President’s Desk by Shaun Micallef Humankind by Rutger BregmanSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
