Richard Osman

The quiz-master and author reveals the music that inspires him.

Born in Billericay, Richard Osman got his first taste for broadcasting on 大象传媒 Radio Sussex, when he was still at school. He read Politics and Sociology at Cambridge and then worked behind the scenes in TV before creating and co-presenting the 大象传媒 quiz show, Pointless.

His own show, Richard Osman鈥檚 House of Games followed, another huge success, and along the way he鈥檚 managed to become an international best-selling crime fiction author!

It all began with The Thursday Murder Club in 2020 and with the fourth book in the wildly popular series on the horizon we asked him to put down that feather quill and share his Inheritance Tracks with us.
