This week on The Writer’s Gauntlet with Sadie Kaye, my opponent is the effortlessly erudite and witty Mat Ricardo – showman, best dressed juggler, and America’s Got Talent loser who wrote a book for kids about how to be criminals (The Magic in You, published by Faber!)

He’s also been my guest on RTHK Radio 3 in my Mental Ideas Podcast and doc As Bad As It Gets and is an ambassador for Mental Ideas!

BUZZ have been granted permission by The Hooghly Review to reprint my weekly column, The Writer’s Gauntlet with Sadie Kaye. They chose a different title for it though! Battle of The Wits is also the name of the affiliated podcast, which will be launching in all the usual podcast places (and some unusual ones) later this year! You can also follow our playlist of music from the IG posts of the columns on Spotify. Enjoy!

As Hong Kong dithers on whether to embrace the ‘pet economy’, my foodie poo Mojo is in Cha: An Asian Literary Journal with his review of a Hong Kong restaurant! I helpfully provided the English translation, being fluent in English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and, err, Woof. Thanks to editor Tammy Ho Lai-Ming for the editorial feedback, which Mojo really appreciated, and for publishing what is undoubtedly the silliest piece ever to appear in Cha in its 20 year history!

Congratulations Mind HK on the 5th year anniversary of More Than A Label. It was a joy to be one of the ambassadors taking part in an exhibition of light, art and recovery stories to mark this mental milestone. I attended the opening of Refraction: A Journey of Our Mind with artist Charles Tang. Attendees were invited to take home a poem inspired by mental health recovery as a memento.
