Orwell prize-winner Darren McGarvey, whose TV series Darren McGarvey’s Addictions has been nominated for a Scottish Bafta, talks to Edi about facing up to being an alcoholic and why it was difficult to convince, not only himself but, those around him that he had a problem. In this sparky programme, the father of two talks about the trauma of his own childhood, his admiration for his father, a single parent, growing up in Pollock and how becoming a rap artist helped him express anger in a safe way. He also discusses his relapses and recovery and walking a tightrope between creativity and sanity. Don’t miss this fascinating feisty exchange on Stark Talk.
