Summary
Part Two of this week's episode: our chat with the brilliant Paul Tonkinson is finally here! š¾ Paul tells us all about cockapoo, Billie Jean, from morning garden rituals and gentle parenting approaches to the dog-related reason he had to postpone running an ultra marathon across the Sahara. We also hear about the dogs that came before Billie Jean, why dogs make the best therapists, whether running with your dog is ever a good idea, and the lengths Paul went to in order to make this interview happen after technical gremlins struck. Plus: dog nicknames, microwaved dog bowls, and the all-important question... does Billie Jean kiss Paul on the mouth? Paul's hilarious book, Running Through Sand: An Aging Comedian's Ill Thought Out Ultra in the Sahara , is out now.
