It’s that time of year again: here are some of the books I’ve enjoyed this summer. If you’ve read any good ones, let me know!

Thanks to everyone for all of the deliberate interviews to celebrate 20 years since my accidental one (and the launch of “The Wrong Guy” book) 🙏.

Thank you, Elliott. This is great.
With a little help from @claudeai, we have an all-new, singing and dancing "Wrong Guy" website, where you can revisit @RealWrongGuy's greatest hits, and even buy signed copies of the book. More Wrong Guy merch to follow. WDYT? thewrongguy.co.uk/
Thank you @thetimes
Wonderful to see my new book "The Wrong Guy" in @thetimes again. Thanks @HackBlackburn for the write-up. Rest-assured the audiobook on @AppleBooks itself - as well as the paperback and eBook editions - remain very much un-cock-up-blocked e.g. amzn.to/4v2T2MW @RealWrongGuy
I will answer all your questions tomorrow at 3pm UK time. Send me your questions on instagram (or here) and I will answer them (just don’t ask me if I got the job 🙏).

Thank you, @EdHalford1
Somehow missed this the other day. Nice shoutout for @RealWrongGuy in @thetimes .

I was not expecting that.
Thrilled as I was to see the audiobook of "The Wrong Guy" (narrated by me) now available, I was shocked to see @AppleBooks has censored the (not-at-all-rude) word "cock-up" in the subtitle. Obvs this is silly. But it did get me wondering which other titles might have fallen, er, fowl of this nonsense... books.apple.com/gb/audiobook…

Delighted to share that the audiobook version of "The Wrong Guy" - narrated by yours truly - is out now on @audibleuk and other platforms. Guy Goma and I would be very happy if you would take a listen 🙏: amzn.eu/d/0ap0JYzc

At least I was alive when the BBC interviewed me.

Watch the #bbcqt AI special now on @BBCiPlayer and @BBCNews to see what our REAL panel have to say on AI, including how it can blur the lines between reality and fakery

What a joy to join the always-excellent @theJeremyVine on @BBCRadio2 with @RealWrongGuy. We discussed, in excruciatingly hilarious detail, what really went down THAT day 20yrs ago, how Guy’s iconic interview impacted our lives, and our new book - “The Wrong Guy” - which is out now. amzn.to/4dsIQWJ
Always happy to be on the @BBC (by accident and on purpose):

Just finished this hilarious book about the @RealWrongGuy. You will come for the minutiae of what happened that morning 20 yrs ago- and you will stay for Guy’s astonishing history. And the terrible dad jokes.
P.s. Factette of the year: @ElliottGotkine’s former BBC boss has blocked him on social media!
Thank you, @NewstalkFM
Delighted to speak again with our Irish friends this morning: Guy Goma says it 'broke my heart' not to get BBC job after interview mistake newstalk.com/news/guy-goma-2… via @NewstalkFM @RealWrongGuy #thewrongguy
I am always happy to speak to the @BBC
"Lord help me". That's what was going through @realwrongguy's mind 20 yrs ago, as he was being accidentally interviewed live on air. Last week, we returned to @BBC (deliberately) for the Media Show. Lovely conversation with @katierazz and @BBCRosAtkins about that iconic moment, how our lives became forever entwined, and to discuss our new book: "The Wrong Guy", which is out now. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…
