You talkin’ to me?

Do you know what’s weird? Working in a hotel room of a morning, streaming BBC 6 Music for the first time in ages, and suddenly realising that the radio people are talking about you.

That’s weird.

Still, ‘ Unlimited digital thumbs up.’ One for the sidebar quotes, eh?

Paul Bradley Carr is the author of The Upgrade, Bringing Nothing To The Party, Sober Is My New Drunk, etc etc. He has also founded and sold a bunch of media companies.

This is his personal website/blog which contains very little about any of those books or companies, but is absolutely chock full of weird, libelous, self-indulgent nonsense about his life, writing and publishing, locked room mysteries, restaurants in Palm Springs, and the awfulness of Silicon Valley.

Paul is not on any social media. This is it.
