## Resource

On the Saturday June 27, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we meet Nicholas Shakespeare. He is a prize-winning British novelist, biographer, and journalist widely regarded as one of the finest English writers of his generation. A former literary editor at the Daily Telegraph and The Times, he is the author of eight novels, including the acclaimed “The Dancer Upstairs” (adapted into a film starring Javier Bardem), “The Vision of Elena Silves” (winner of the Somerset Maugham and Betty Trask Awards), and “The High Flyer.” He has also written acclaimed biographies of Bruce Chatwin and Ian Fleming. He returns to bookstores with “Frame 37” — a gripping, fast-paced political thriller in which ex-journalist John Dyer uncovers a dangerous conspiracy to bring his friend’s killer to justice in a world where proof is power and nothing is as it seems. Then, we meet Lee Kuhnle and Nathan Radke, authors of “Uncover Up: How To Think Clearly In An Age Of Conspiracies,” a new book that offers sociological, historical, philosophical, and literary perspectives on conspiracy theories, allowing us to cut through the fog of misinformation. We’ll talk about the truth behind false conspiracy theories, critical thinking in an age of information overload and why lies travel further and faster.
