Episode description

One of the most culturally significant writers of the past three decades, the creator of the now iconic 'Trainspotting', Irvine Welsh, joins The Michael Anthony Show for Episode 144.  A wide range of topics are discussed throughout the show, with Welsh providing a raw glimpse into the workings of his fascinating mind. 

The purpose of writing, heroin addiction, the sex life of Maggie Thatcher, human emotion, football, love and much more feature during a Guinness fuelled hour, with the legendary Scot's worldview provoking thought throughout. 

Currently being trailed by a camera crew for an upcoming fly-on-the-wall documentary about his day to day processes, Welsh's creative journey is far from finished and the Hibs devotee, now sixty-three, possesses a level energy that you would associate with a man who gave us some of the most absorbing characters of recent times. 

Welsh lives life as if he only has one.
