In Episode 92 Derek is joined by a close friend Iain McMillan. Iain recently released his debut novel The Boy With The Thorn In His Side which draws from his experience growing up in 80/90s Scotland and his life in recovery thereafter. The pair discuss Iain's motivations behind writing his first book; his younger life which was dominated by football, fashion, clubbing and alcohol, before delving deeper into recovery and the social problems that face many across Scotland today. Derek and Iain talk in detail about The Boy With The Thorn In His Side, how much is based on Iain's own life and how he hopes that this book will help others.
