Frankly and Great Chat: Nicola Sturgeon and Josh Smith

Memoir, Politics, Wellbeing

In this very special live recording of the Reign podcast for Aye Write, host Josh Smith welcomes Scotland’s former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to the stage to discuss her memoir, Frankly.

A deeply personal book, Frankly reveals the person behind the politician, exploring the schism between her private and public personas: one painfully shy and self-critical, the other a consummate public performer. Full of the verve and wit that made Sturgeon one of the most high-profile politicians in the UK, Frankly is a unique blend of fascinating insight and captivating vignettes.

So, who better to coax out those insights than Josh Smith? Author of Great Chat, a book about the art of conversation, Josh has interviewed countless high-profile guests on his empowering and endlessly popular podcast. Entering its twelfth season, Reign has amassed over 48 million views and downloads combined, featuring unfiltered conversations with notable guests such as Jodie Foster, Will Ferrell, and Cynthia Erivo.
