The slow pace of the pandemic saw a lot of people reassessing their situation. Sea change / tree change / career change? Something needed to change. Today’s guest, Australian author Oliver Mol already went through these paces several years ago when he suffered a splitting ten month migraine. As an emerging Australian writer, it was all over. The chronic pain meant he couldn’t look at a blank page. That’s when he got a real job working on the trains in Sydney. His new book Train Lord tells a dark, hilarious and hopeful story of the bold choices and supernatural coincidences as he clawed his way back to the pen and paper.
