Herring/Dowie

If I don’t know where I’m going, I can’t be lost.

Last year, I helped John Dowie with the publication of his new book as well as one of his older, out-of-print books.

The out of print title is called The Freewheeling John Dowie (currently available as an ebook only) and is about the time he sold off all his possessions, taking to the road with only a bicycle and a tent.

Herring: Do you regret getting rid of all your records and comics?
Dowie: No, no, no.

Richard Herring interviewed Dowie on his podcast this week about both books. Escaping with no possessions has clearly captured Herring’s imagination and they talk about it a lot.

Use the link above to enjoy all 55 minutes of book chat, or here’s a clip/trailer for a sense of the thing.

Both comedians have been interviewed in New Escapologist, incidentally. Herring in Issue 10, Dowie in Issue 17.
