With author Shaun Usher

Lauren is joined by author Shaun Usher, who talks about his Lists of Note book, which includes Johnny Cash's to-do list and Charles Darwin's pros and cons of marriage.

Last year we were joined by Shaun Usher who came in to tell us all about his Letters of Note book - a collection of over one hundred of the world's most entertaining, inspiring and unusual letters, based on the popular website of the same name. Now that site has had over 70 million hits so we wanted to get Shaun back on the show to tell us what he's been up to. This time, his Lists of Note has been taking precedence, with the book including Johnny Cash's to do list, Charles Darwin's pros and cons of marriage and Marilyn Monroe's list of New Year's resolutions, among others.
