The launch episode of Creative Places & Faces features an insightful interview with McDonald, that delves into the places that have played significant roles in his creative and personal life. A journey that brings the audience to Belfast, Berlin, Nerja and Hove through this author’s eyes, experiences and creativity. The interview highlights some fascinating connections between Henry’s 2019 gritty Belfast-based novel, Two Souls, and his own creative life and journey.

Asked how he may have been creatively influenced had he been born in Nerja rather than Belfast, McDonald said,

“I think if I had been born there I would be writing about ancient myths, hidden Roman treasure or Moorish ghosts.”

Available from 30th October 2020, this first episode sets the tone of what is to come in the Creative Places & Faces podcast.
