Natalie Haynes, an award-winning comedian, author, journalist, and broadcaster talks to Geoff Bird about her six nature-related tracks. Although, Natalie claims not to know much about music, her selections paint a vivid picture of her influences. From Tom Waits’ ‘Shiver Me Timbers’ inspiring her writing about Classical Greek characters who live by the sea, walking in nature to find clarity in her writing process, to Steve Earle & The Del McCoury Band’s ‘The Mountain’ evoking grandeur, solace and peril all at the same time. Throughout, she takes us on a whistle-stop tour of Greek mythology in between each track and shows us just why she’s one of our most exciting authors standing up for the Classics.
