JD and Denise have a chat with Manchester based author Mike Lawson about his new book "Biscuits With Blanche", a funny, snarky, satirical book chock full of heartfelt moments. Mike explains the origin of Blanche and how the book idea was spawned from a fun Facebook page where a bit of roasting the political bone heads running the country, began growing over the lock down period and so with all that time during the pandemic, why not write a book?
