Memoirist Malcolm McLean talks about writing Freak Like Me: Confessions of a 90s Pop Groupie

Hi and welcome to the Creatives of Habit podcast with me Claire Gamble

In this episode of Creatives of Habit I’m talking to memoirist and pop culture writer, Malcolm McLean 

Malcolm has written a really funny memoir, which is called Freak Like Me: Confessions of a 90s Pop Groupie.

In his book, Malcolm reveals how growing up he would escape his small town in Surrey to follow his favourite pop stars around London, become a regular in the Top of the Pops audience, and also sneak into the Brit Awards, not just once, but three times.

He’s got loads of amazing anecdotes, including hanging out with Posh Spice’s Mum, getting compliments from Beyoncé and ditching Mel and Sue to go and schmooze with Cher.

In this episode, Malcolm talks about how valuable a writing course was to help him develop his craft, the process he went through to turn his idea into an actual book, what he learnt about himself along the way, and of course, some of his favourite memories from his days of being a 90s pop groupie. 

Follow Malcolm and see some of his pop star memorabilia, including photos with pop stars like Geri Halliwell, B*Witched, Pink, Hear'Say and more! @freaklikemebook
