Andrew Keen

Feb 11, 2021

On today's episode, Andrew Keen talks with Robert Wringham on his new book, I'm Out: How to Make an Exit, and the crisis of work today.

Humorist Robert Wringham was born in Dudley, England in 1982 and now lives between Glasgow, Scotland and Montreal, Canada. He considers himself to be among the world's most indolent people but has somehow written three books, is the editor of New Escapologist magazine and sometimes writes for publications like The Idler, Playboy, and Splitsider.
