I recently had the great pleasure of interviewing Andrew Philip, author of The Ambulance Box, as part of his virtual book tour. We conducted the interview via Skype, and it was remarkable to be able to both hear and see Andrew from such a great distance. Unfortunately, a few of those digital packets did seem to fall out of order somewhere over the Atlantic, so at times the lip sync is a little off. For me, it was still tremendously exciting to be able to speak with Andrew about his work, his craft, and his life using this technology. The complete thirty-five-minute video is available below.

I’ve read in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, St Andrews, Linlithgow and London. I’ve been podcast, toured blogs and been interviewed via Skype. [...]
