Simon is delightfully open about times where he’s overdone it on the workload, about the media-luvvie bubble it’s too easy to slip into and about the time he ate some whale. His stories about guests on Sunday Brunch are hilarious and his honesty about his journey and imperfections is disarmingly lovely.
