Episode 04: Tim Ewins

When Tim Ewins hasn’t been babbling with Megan Thomas in the Babble virtual studios, he’s been on the stand-up comedy circuit, working in a career in finance, maintaining a "fake" bookish Instagram, and of course writing hilarious debut novels in the space between. His debut, 'We Are Animals', was published in e-book first format by Eye Lightning Books’ new digital imprint, Lightning ‘Bolts’, and so Babble’s aim to reach as international and varied an audience as possible just got easier through the book’s digital nature. Tim’s book was published just before lockdown, and instead of letting it get him down, he made a plan, which seems a pattern throughout Tim’s career. Tim started to read extracts of his book “in the style of” on social media after a Twitter post, and the stories and videos followed. Megan asked Tim if he’d consider doing one in the style of Whitney Houston, and the rest is podcast/video history.
