RHLSTP Book Club 52 - The God Desire. Richard talks to David Baddiel about his thought-provoking and shamefully sometimes funny book, The God Desire and why the author believes that the fact he so much wants there to be a god means that there can’t be one. Also why he moved away from writing novels, an illuminating car ride with Frank Skinner, why David has chosen the medium of the essay book, if Jesus knew he was the son of God, what prompted Richard to lose his religion and whether death is going to be like going under anaesthetic.
