Ben Miller: Fatherhood, Fairytales and World Book Day
Season 12, Episode 8, Mar 05, 10:05 AM
In this episode of The Netmums Podcast, hosts Wendy Golledge and Alison Perry chat to the multi-talented Ben Miller. Known for his work in "The Armstrong and Miller Show," "Death in Paradise," and "Bridgerton," Ben is also a bestselling children's author. His latest book, "Diary of a Big Bad Wolf," turns classic fairytales on their heads, offering a fresh perspective from the eyes of infamous characters.
Ben delves into his World Book Day woes with his daughter's costume choices, the challenges of raising teenagers, and the profound impact of reading on children’s developing brains. He also shares the heartwarming moments of meeting his young readers and the importance of humour in children's literature.
Ben also lets us in on an ambition for the future: his coffee cart dream! Not only that, Wendy and Alison get a barista lesson and debate who’s coffee order is the most sophisticated…
This brilliantly chatty episode is packed with laugh out loud moments (and you may just get some inspiration for World Book Day costumes which is great news if you’re a competitive fancy dress parent like Ben!)
Ben’s latest book ‘Diary of a Big Bad Wolf’ is out on 14th March 2024 and available to pre-order now - find out more about this and all of Ben’s other children’s books here: https://www.simonandschuster.co.uk/authors/Ben-Miller/100920632
