Growing up as the eldest of eight kids in a three bed council flat, home-educated from the age of 11, she became a published author at just 16 and a TV presenter not long after that. A long-time columnist for The Times, she has a well-deserved reputation for being one of the UK’s funniest writers. She is also a massive fan of Wintering - so much so her new book contains an entire chapter devoted to it.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Caitlin joins Katherine for a conversation that was never going to be anything but brilliantly bonkers. They discuss her plan to rid the world of evil billionaires that basically involves being a madam, why she would pay a thousand pounds to hear the sound of a blackbird from Wolverhampton in the 1980s and ask; grottos - the Temu of caves?&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Her unique vision of splendour for her escape to the Clearing, involving ‘the greatest building that humans have ever come up with’, provokes a particularly visceral reaction from Katherine.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Just to warn you, this being Caitlin, the episode contains a spot of swearing.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Links from the episode:</p><p><br></p><p>Caitlin’s new book <a href=\"https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/how-to-be-hopeful-my-year-of-living-joyfully-caitlin-moran/1ae19d32f0fd6d0b?ean=9781529974799&amp;bkshp-astro=t\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">How to Be Hopeful</a>&nbsp;</p><p>Outsiding Podcast <a href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/outsiding/id6782845808\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/outsiding/id6782845808</a>&nbsp;</p><p>Caitlin’s <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/mscaitlinmoran/?hl=en\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a></p><p><br></p><p>Visit The Clearing website<a href=\"http://www.theclearingpod.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> www.theclearingpod.com</a> for a full transcript, to discover how to enjoy our bonus episodes, our ad free episodes and if you subscribe, how to submit your own idea for a dream retreat.</p><p><br></p><p>Katherine’s new book, <strong>Tending: How Care Binds the World</strong> is out in March and you can pre-order it <a href=\"https://katherine-may.co.uk/tending?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Buy Katherine’s books:<a href=\"https://katherine-may.co.uk/enchantment\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> <em>Enchantment</em></a> |<a href=\"https://katherine-may.co.uk/wintering\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> <em>Wintering</em></a> | <em>The Electricity of Every Living Thing</em>:<a href=\"https://uk.bookshop.org/a/1124/9781409172512\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> UK</a> /<a href=\"https://bookshop.org/books/the-electricity-of-every-living-thing-a-woman-s-walk-in-the-wild-to-find-her-way-home/9781612199603\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> US</a></p><p>Follow Katherine on<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/katherinemay_/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Instagram</a></p><p>Visit Katherine’s<a href=\"https://katherine-may.co.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Website</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Production Credits</strong></p><p>Guest Booker and Admin Support - Meghan Hutchins</p><p>Substack Manager - Rebecca Armstrong</p><p>Producer - Alice Lloyd</p><p>Music - The Leaf Library @theleaflibrary</p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Katherine May"}
