This week on Hyperfixations, author of the Rivers of London series, Ben Aaronovitch sits down for a chat about his work, life, and anything else we may turn our minds to. In this episode we discuss not putting too much of your own nerdiness into something, how not to fall into stereotyping in writing, writing the book YOU would want to read, and why we'll never find out how the magic in Rivers of London actually works.
