In GBA 207 we get better acquainted with Simon. He talks about dealing with the death of both his parents at a young age and how that, and the lives and values his parents had, has shaped his own life and world view. It's a conversation about bereavement, life, mental health and perspectives but most of all it's a conversation about stories, about the narratives and fictions we create and refine.\n\nSimon doesn't really plug anything.\n\nI plug Tragic Summer: https://www.facebook.com/events/1374545949536475/ and the Stand Up Tragedy podcast: https://soundcloud.com/standuptragedy\n\nWe mention:\n\nSpark London: http://sparklondon.com/\nRisk!
