Straight No Chaser's Paul Bradshaw is joined by one of music culture’s most elusive and important music writers, Penny Reel. His work documenting the UK reggae scene in the 1970s and 80s remains crucial to fans, critics and scholars of dub and reggae music. Recently featured in the 'People' section of Jocks & Nerds, he chats about his self published London novels Up the Dreary Slope and In Groves and Along Lanes which are penned under the nom de plume of Thomas Horace Whitmer.
