It's the first TPOE show of 2017! Dubbed the best new writer in the country by the Irish Times, Oisin Fagan talks about his apocalyptic story collection Hostages (released by New Island), hot soup in the school canteen, love stories vs short stories, his creative process and what exactly it feels like to be the hottest new writer around. Thanks for listening, liking, sharing and subscribing - and thanks to Steve McEvoy as always for producing the show.
