About this episode

This week, Emily and Raymond are taking a stroll in East London’s Haggerston Park with the brilliant comedian Rhys James! 


We were thrilled to go on another walk with Rhys to chat about his hilarious new book - You'll Like It When You Get There: A Life Lived Reluctantly! It’s a brilliant funny book - taking a refreshingly honest look at modern life, and how to get out of living it.


We spoke to Rhys about some of the themes of the book: overthinking, dread and celebrating plans being cancelled. 


You’ll Like It When You Get there is out on 14th August - you can pre-order your copy here!


If you’d like to hear more from Rhys - you can listen to his first appearance on Walking The Dog from April 2024 here!
