Episode Synopsis

We’re taking a book out into the wild which you might know better by its film version: Get Carter, by Ted Lewis. Originally published as Jack’s Return Home, this tight, dirty, hard and mean book is as sharp as a switchblade and as cold as the dirty winter streets of Lincolnshire. We travel to Scunthorpe, the book’s location, and find a town on its knees, the great steelworks which made its fortune a fraction of their former size, but still pumping out steam and smoke over the crumbling streets. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
