Tabitha Lasley, Author of Sea State Mar 15, 2022

Show notes

What’s the first thing a London journalist writing a book on North Sea oil workers should do…have a torrid affair with her first interview subject! Her book Sea State is a gripping tale of her break up, move to Scotland, the AFFAIR…all within the framework of interviewing the men of the rigs of the North Sea. And she’s cool enough to chat with Chuck about it all.
