About the Author
As a hospital radio DJ, Karl Pilkington filled news bulletins with strange-but-true stories and used the transmitter to broadcast pirate radio, for which he was sacked. He then moved to Manchester’s Piccadilly Radio, where he hosted a late-night show filled with impenetrably cryptic puzzles. Next was XFM in London, where he was producer and later a star of XFM’s Ricky Gervais Show, a forerunner of the legendary world-record-breaking podcasts.
