Sweetman Podcast: Episode 236 - Claire Mabey (Verb)

An in-depth conversation with Claire Mabey, co-director of Verb (Litcrawl) and organiser of many literary events, political talks and writing-related shows, festivals and ideas. Claire's been on the podcast twice before, with partner Andrew Laking. This time it was Claire solo - to talk about this year's upcoming Verb Festival and Litcrawl event and also to discuss the impacts of Covid-19 on event planning and the year of hell that 2020 has been in general and particularly from the point of view of an event planner. We also talk books. Loads of books. And Bob Dylan too.
